Our Credit Points Service is designed for clients who regularly require construction estimating and tender preparation support and want fast, priority access to our services without the need to agree a quotation for every enquiry.

By purchasing credit points in advance, you secure priority access to our estimating team, allowing us to respond quickly when new tender opportunities arise. This provides a simple, flexible, and efficient way to manage your tender preparation requirements throughout the year.

How It Works

When you submit a tender enquiry, we assess the project documentation and determine the level of complexity required to prepare a professional estimate and tender submission. Each enquiry is categorised as one of the following:

• Easy – 2 credit points + expenses

• Medium – 4 credit points + expenses

• Hard – 6 or more credit points + expenses, depending on the size and complexity of the project.

Credit points are only deducted once we commence pricing your project. The number of points required will be confirmed following our assessment of the enquiry.

Priority Service

Clients who purchase credit points receive priority access to our estimating and tender preparation services, helping to ensure that urgent opportunities can be accommodated wherever possible. This is particularly beneficial during busy tender periods, providing confidence that professional estimating support is readily available when you need it.

Credit Validity

• Credit points are purchased in advance and remain valid for six (6) months from the date of purchase.

• Points are deducted only when we begin preparing an estimate or tender for an accepted enquiry.

• Any unused credit points expire at the end of the six-month validity period unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Benefits of the Credit Points Service

• Priority access to our estimating and tender preparation services.

• A simple and predictable way to manage multiple tender enquiries.

• Faster instruction process with no need to negotiate fees for every project.

• Flexible use of credits across multiple enquiries during the validity period.

• Clear allocation of credits based on the complexity of each project.

• Improved planning and budgeting for ongoing tendering requirements.

Our Credit Points Service is ideal for contractors and developers who tender regularly and value responsive, reliable estimating support whenever new opportunities become available.

Tender Submission Timescales and Urgent Requests

The Client shall provide Bellewood Limited with not less than fourteen (14) working days' notice prior to the applicable tender submission deadline when instructing the Company to provide estimating and/or tender preparation or ay other services. Bellewood Limited reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to decline any instruction received with less than fourteen (14) days' notice.

Where the Client submits an instruction with less than fourteen (14) days' notice, Bellewood Limited may use all reasonable endeavours to accommodate the request. However, Bellewood Limited gives no warranty, representation, or guarantee that it will be able to accept, prepare, or complete the tender within the required timescale.

Bellewood Limited shall have no liability whatsoever for any failure or inability to accept or complete an urgent tender request, or for any failure by the Client to submit a tender by the applicable deadline. Without limitation, Bellewood Limited shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss or damage, including any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or any costs incurred by the Client arising from a missed tender submission or any delay in the preparation of tender documentation. The client must however cover any reasonable expenses that Bellewood Limited incurrs.

The Client acknowledges that responsibility for allowing sufficient time for the preparation and submission of any tender rests solely with the Client.

The Client shall indemnify, defend, and keep indemnified Bellewood Limited, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and subcontractors against all claims, actions, proceedings, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, and demands of whatever nature (including reasonable legal costs and expenses) arising out of or in connection with any claim relating to Bellewood Limited's inability to accept or complete an urgent tender request or any missed tender submission.

Credit Point Pricing

Bellewood Limited reserves the right to amend, vary, increase, or decrease the price of Credit Points at any time and at its sole discretion without notice.

The purchase price paid by the Client for any Credit Points shall apply only to that specific purchase and shall not create any entitlement, expectation, or contractual right for the Client to purchase additional Credit Points at the same price in the future.

Bellewood Limited shall have no obligation to maintain or offer Credit Points at any previous or current price, and any subsequent purchases shall be charged at the prevailing price in force at the date of purchase.

Any change to the price of Credit Points shall not affect the validity or redemption value of Credit Points that have already been purchased by the Client, which shall remain subject to these Terms and Conditions.
