Tendering is the process of inviting bids for construction work packages. Accurate estimates during tendering are crucial for project success. However, estimating costs in advance is challenging, particularly in fast-track projects. Contractors' lack of knowledge in addressing tendering mistakes often leads to cost and time overruns in such projects. This paper aims to Evaluate Key Factors Affecting Tender Process in Fast Track Construction Projects in Egypt. In this paper 53 journal articles published from 1992 to 2022 were reviewed that covered a wide range of topics related to tendering and cost estimation in construction projects and fast track projects. In addition, it identifies the research gaps and potential upcoming research guidance. Moreover, it examined factors that affect tender costs. It was found that there are 29 factors that were identified as influential in determining tender prices and after analyzing and studying these factors it was found that these actors can be related and divided into 6 categories (Internal factors, stakeholders’ factors, project phase factors, external factors, and market conditions). In this study all these factors were defined and studied to be able to identify the impact of each factor on cost estimation. This paper should assist researchers by providing information on how to address the challenge of tendering in fast-track construction projects.
