Tenders and procurement

Software development via tenders and procurement

We take clients from technical specification to go-live: we bid as the contractor, then build, implement and support the system.

Procurement work in brief

Many companies and organizations buy software development through tenders, whether required by internal regulations, corporate policy or procurement law. This format demands more than development expertise from the contractor: it also takes careful handling of documentation, deadlines and client requirements.

Alfateam builds web and mobile applications, CRM and ERP systems, integrations and process automation solutions. During preparation, we help define the requirements; during delivery, we stick to the agreed scope and hand over the result with full documentation.

Procurement formats we work with

Procurement in Kazakhstan

Public procurement and quasi-public sector procurement where the requirements allow a software development service provider to participate.

Corporate tenders

Competitions and requests for proposals from large companies and holdings in Kazakhstan and Russia under their internal procurement rules.

Commercial procurement in Russia

Requests for quotations, competitions and tenders from commercial clients, as well as procurement under client regulations that allow a sole proprietor (individual entrepreneur) to participate.

Direct contracts

When no procurement procedure is required, we work under a direct contract with a clear scope of work, milestones and acceptance procedure.

How the work goes

  1. 1

    Tender analysis

    We review the documentation, technical specification, evaluation criteria and contractor requirements. If the tender terms rule us out, we say so upfront.

    Requirements and justification

    At the planning stage, we help draft the technical specification and scope of work, and prepare a commercial proposal to justify the budget.

  3. 3

    Bid and documents

    We prepare the bid, solution description, work schedule and the full document package the tender requires.

  4. 4

    Development and implementation

    We deliver according to the contract milestones: design, development, integrations, testing and deployment on the client's infrastructure.

  5. 5

    Handover and support

    We hand over the source code and documentation, train users and administrators, and support the system during and after the warranty period.

FAQ

Can you help with the technical specification before the tender is announced?
Yes. At the planning stage, we help describe the objectives, functional requirements and scope of work, and prepare a commercial proposal the client can use to justify the budget. Decisions on the tender scope and terms remain with the client.
Do you take part in tenders under Federal Law No. 44-FZ?
Tenders under Federal Law No. 44-FZ are not our focus: in Russia, contracts are signed with a sole proprietor (individual entrepreneur), so we participate only where the tender terms allow it. We check eligibility when analyzing the documentation.
Who owns the rights to the developed system?
The transfer of source code and exclusive rights is set out in the contract. As a rule, the client receives the source code and the rights to the software developed under the contract.
Can the system be deployed on our infrastructure?
Yes. We deploy the solution on the client's servers or in the cloud of their choice and provide operating instructions.
What happens after handover?
Warranty obligations under the contract apply. Beyond that, we can maintain and evolve the system under a separate support agreement.
Do you work on small-scale tenders?
Yes. Requests for quotations and small tenders are a common format for pilot projects and enhancements to existing systems.
