The State of Construction Procurement
UK construction tendering runs on JCT and NEC4; the 2024 JCT Design & Build form clarified liquidated damages on termination, and NEC4 Option C remains the benchmark for target-cost work. With nearly 40% of clients reporting difficulty securing enough tenderers (Gleeds 2024) and hundreds of live construction opportunities on Find a Tender, winning comes down to risk visibility and compliance. Lucius AI performs forensic audits of construction contracts: we extract BoQ requirements, surface penalty clauses and LADs, distinguish genuine pre-estimates of loss from unenforceable penalties, and build defensible compliance matrices. Quantity Surveyors and bid managers use Lucius to decide bid/no-bid and draft method statements that address evaluation criteria—without the generic filler.
