Lenex provides independent scope and technical requirements development services for civil and infrastructure projects, supporting asset owners and project teams to define clear, robust and defensible procurement documentation.

We help clients articulate what is required — and just as importantly, what is not — to manage risk, support fair competition and enable successful delivery outcomes.

​

The Scope Development Role

Effective procurement begins with a well-defined scope.

Lenex supports clients by developing and reviewing scopes, specifications and technical requirements that are:

• clear and unambiguous

• aligned with project objectives

• proportionate to risk

• suitable for competitive procurement

Our role is advisory and independent, ensuring documentation supports sound governance and withstands scrutiny.

 

What We Do

Scope Development services typically include:

• Development of technical scopes of work for consultants and contractors

• Preparation of technical requirements and specifications

• Definition of performance, compliance and acceptance criteria

• Identification and management of scope gaps, overlaps and interfaces

• Alignment of scope with delivery strategy and risk allocation

• Review and refinement of client-prepared scope documentation

Our focus is on producing documentation that is practical, implementable and defensible.

 

Why Scope Quality Matters

Poorly defined scopes are a common source of:

• cost overruns

• disputes and claims

• programme delays

• probity and audit issues

Clear, well-structured technical requirements reduce uncertainty, support fair tender evaluation and provide a strong foundation for delivery.

 

Who This Service Is For

Scope Development support is commonly engaged by:

• Local and regional councils

• Government agencies and authorities

• Asset owners and operators

• Program and portfolio management teams

• Transaction and commercial advisors

It is particularly valuable for complex, high-risk or first-of-kind projects.

 

How We Work

Lenex works closely with clients and stakeholders to:

• understand project drivers and constraints

• identify key technical risks and interfaces

• tailor scope content to procurement strategy

• maintain clear separation from delivery roles

We operate within governance and probity frameworks appropriate to public-sector and major infrastructure projects.

 

Relationship to Other Advisory Services

Scope Development is often undertaken alongside:

• Owner’s Oversight (Owner’s Engineer)

• Tender Evaluation & Procurement Support

Early engagement across these stages improves consistency and reduces downstream risk.

 

Next Steps

If you require support developing or reviewing scopes and technical requirements for an upcoming procurement, we welcome a confidential discussion.
