Often, public sector and large commercial organizations require a competitive bidding process for major capital investments. This process requires considerable time and puts great demands on internal staff when they try to manage it in-house. SHR Energy Management can manage the end-to-end ‘Request for Proposal’, enabling you to:

• Speed up project completion
• Put no additional burdens on their internal staff
• Access experience in energy strategy and technology
• Cut through inflated competitive sales presentations and claims
• Save on project expense

SHR Energy Management will proceed through the seven critical steps necessary to develop and objectively manage the process through to completion

• Develop project specifications to achieve the goals for energy cost reduction and financing.
• Write and distribute the Request for Proposal.
• Administer the RFP (respond to bidder questions/issues/request for site visits.)
• Evaluate all submitted bids, based on predetermined criteria for expense reduction, operating benefits, and quality.
• Recommend the winning bidder(s).
• Secure and structure financing.
• Oversee construction and commissioning.
