Is the Warehouse Refrigeration Tender really free to use?

Yes. ColdMatch Group is buyer-first and vendor-neutral. Creating tenders, generating documents and receiving supplier quotes is free for buyers. Suppliers pay when they win qualified business.

What file formats are produced?

The wizard produces PDF and DOCX for narrative documents (RFQ, RFP, tender, SOW, executive summary) and XLSX for structured artifacts (BOQ, supplier evaluation matrix, vendor comparison sheet).

Does the platform support international standards?

Yes. Templates include HACCP, BRC, IFS, GDP, ISO 22000, EN 378, ASHRAE, ATEX, EIAR and regional food-safety references. You can tick applicable standards and the generated documents cite them in the correct sections.

Can I save a draft and resume later?

Every step auto-saves locally, and signed-in users can save named drafts, resume them from any device, duplicate projects and keep version history for audit trails.

How is data privacy handled?

Tenders are private by default. Sharing is opt-in via secure links; suppliers only see what you release. Uploaded drawings and specifications are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Does it work in multiple languages?

Yes. The wizard interface and generated documents support English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Korean, matching the buyer's chosen locale.

Warehouse Refrigeration Tender

Warehouse Refrigeration Tender wizard

Warehouse refrigeration tenders combine building envelope, refrigeration system and materials-handling constraints. Missing the interfaces between the three is the most common cause of change orders. This wizard captures the interfaces first, then drills into each discipline.

Where warehouse tenders go wrong

The three most common failures: undersizing pulldown for peak intake, ignoring floor-heat where refrigeration would freeze the slab, and specifying dock doors without air curtains and interlocks. The wizard prompts for each interaction and blocks progression until they are addressed.

MHE-aware scope

The wizard cross-references racking, VNA aisles, AGV/AMR ready-status and mezzanine loads with refrigeration duty and door strategy, so the resulting tender package reflects how the warehouse will actually operate.

How to build a warehouse refrigeration tender

Envelope-first workflow for chilled, frozen and multi-zone warehouses.

1
Define the project envelope
Enter project country, industry, facility type (new build, expansion, retrofit), storage temperature bands, ambient conditions, capacity in m³ or tons, and daily throughput.
2
Specify the refrigeration system
Select system type (ammonia, CO₂ transcritical, cascade, HFC/HFO), refrigerant preference, and target components: compressors, evaporators, condensers, and control system.
3
Describe the building envelope
Add insulated panels, doors, flooring, loading docks, racking systems, and required standards (HACCP, BRC, GDP, ATEX, IFS) with regional certifications.
4
Attach drawings and BOQ
Upload architectural drawings, single-line diagrams, tender BOQ, and any existing technical specifications. The AI assistant flags gaps in real time.
5
Set commercial terms
Choose Incoterms, payment terms, warranty period, delivery deadline, installation and commissioning scope, training, spare parts and maintenance SLA.
6
Generate and distribute
Export the RFQ, RFP, tender document, SOW, BOQ, evaluation matrix and executive summary as PDF, DOCX or XLSX. Share a secure link with qualified suppliers worldwide.
