About the role
This graduate interview tests how you support fair tenders and controlled contract execution for technical operations. The panel is looking for structured comparison, reliable records, commercial judgement and integrity when vendors or internal teams apply pressure.
How to prepare
- Revise the main stages of sourcing, tender evaluation, award, contract administration and close-out.
- Practise separating mandatory compliance checks from scored technical and commercial criteria.
- Review common contract concepts such as scope, deliverables, payment milestones, variations and performance evidence.
- Prepare an example of handling confidential information or a potential conflict of interest.
- Build a simple comparison that shows price, lead time, compliance gaps and key risks.
Common mistakes
- Treating the cheapest offer as the automatic winner.
- Sharing one bidder's information with another or discussing an evaluation outside the proper process.
- Accepting extra work informally and trying to document the variation afterwards.
