The bill of quantities from NPK/CAN positions, chapter by chapter

The catalogue is uploaded once. Then you describe the work in your own words: the standard positions are suggested, and the questions a quantity surveyor would ask are asked.

Four bids compared, the lowest flagged on two items, then the answer quoted from the page of the tender file.

From description to positions

Describe the work: Geovio suggests the matching catalogue positions, chapter by chapter, and asks for what's missing to price them – as a quantity surveyor would.

What the Tenders module does

NPK/CAN catalogue

Uploaded once by the company, it serves every bill of quantities.

Suggested positions

From the description of the work, chapter by chapter.

Surveyor's questions

What's missing to price is asked rather than guessed.

Bill in your colours

Exported to Excel or PDF, ready to send to contractors.

With monitoring and analysis

The tender found on SIMAP is examined in Analyse; the bill of quantities is then built here, with nothing re-typed.

An example description

“Road resurfacing over 250 m: milling of the existing surface, new base course and wearing course, granite kerbs to be replaced.” Geovio suggests positions from the matching chapters of the NPK/CAN catalogue, then asks for what is missing — the milling depth, the road width — before completing the bill of quantities.

For engineering firms and site supervisors preparing clients' tender documents, as well as for companies that structure their quotes on the public procurement model. The NPK/CAN catalogue is published under licence by CRB: each company uploads its own.

Frequently asked questions

What software builds NPK/CAN bills of quantities?

Geovio builds the bill from the positions of the catalogue uploaded by the company, starting from a description of the work, and exports it to Excel or PDF.

Do I need to know the position numbers?

No: describe the work, the matching positions are suggested.

Can the bill of quantities be exported?

Yes, to Excel or PDF, in the company's colours.

Does Geovio provide the NPK/CAN catalogue?

No: the NPK/CAN catalogue is published under licence by CRB. The company uploads the catalogue it has purchased once, and it is used for all its bills of quantities.
