material deviation, reservation, or omission. A material
deviation, reservation, or omission is one that:

(a) affects in any substantial way the scope, quality, or

performance of the Works specified in the Contract; or
(b) limits in any substantial way, or is inconsistent with the
Tender Documents, the Procuring Entity’s rights or the
Tenderer’s obligations under the Contract; or
(c) If rectified would unfairly affect the competitive position of
other Tenderers presenting substantially responsive
tenders.

52.3 If a tender is not substantially responsive to the Tender

Document, it shall be rejected by the Procuring Entity and shall
not subsequently be made responsive by the Tenderer by
correction of the material deviation, reservation, or omission.

52.4 There shall be no requirement as to the minimum number of

responsive tenders.

52.5 There shall be no automatic exclusion of tenders which are

above or below the official estimate.

52.6 The Procuring Entity shall now examine the tender to confirm
that all terms and conditions specified in the GCC and the PCC
have been accepted by the Tenderer without any material
deviation or reservation.

52.7 The Procuring Entity shall evaluate the technical aspects of the
tender submitted in accordance with ITT Clauses 30,31 and
32, to confirm that all requirements specified in Section 7:
General Specifications and Section 8: Particular Specifications
of the Tender Document have been met without any material
deviation or reservation.

32
 52.8 If, after the examination of the terms and conditions and the
technical aspects of the tender, the Procuring Entity
determines that the tender is not substantially responsive in
accordance with ITT Sub-Clauses 52.6 and 52.7, it shall reject
the tender.

52.9 Provided that a tender is substantially responsive, the

Procuring Entity may request that the Tenderer submit the
necessary information or documentation, within a reasonable
period of time, to rectify nonmaterial nonconformities or
omissions in the tender related to documentation
requirements. Such omission shall not be related to any
aspect of the rates of the tender reflected in the Priced Bill of
Quantities. Failure of the Tenderer to comply with the request
may result in the rejection of its tender.

52.10 The TEC may regard a Tender as responsive even if it

contains;

(a) minor or insignificant deviations which do not

meaningfully alter or depart from the technical
specifications, characteristics and commercial terms and,
conditions or other mandatory requirements set out in
the Tender Document; or
(b) Errors or oversights that if corrected, would not alter the
key aspects of the Tender.

53. Clarification on 53.1 The TEC may ask Tenderers for clarification of their Tenders,
Tender including information which is historical in nature or breakdowns
of unit rates or prices, in order to facilitate the examination and
evaluation of Tenders. The request for clarification by the TEC
and the response from the Tenderer shallbe in writing, and
Tender clarifications which may lead to a change in the
substance of the Tender or in any of the key elements of the
Tender pursuant to ITT Sub Clause 52.2, will neither be sought
nor be permitted.

53.2 Changes in the Tender price shall also not be sought or

permitted, except to confirm the correction of arithmetical errors
discovered by the TEC in the evaluation of the Tenders, as
stated under ITT Sub Clause 55.1.

54. Restrictions on 54.1 After the opening of tenders, information relating to the
Disclosure of examination, clarification, and evaluation of tenders and
Information recommendations for award shall not be disclosed to tenderers
or other persons not officially concerned with the evaluation
process until the award of the contract is announced.

54.2 Any effort by a Tenderer to influence a Procuring Entity in its

decision concerning the evaluation of Tenders, Contract awards
may result in the rejection of its Tender as well as further action

33
 in accordance with Section 64 (5) of the Public Procurement
Act, 2006.

55. Correction of 55.1 Provided that the Tender is substantially responsive, the TEC
Arithmetical Errors shall correct arithmetical errors on the following basis:

(a) if there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the

line item total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit
price and quantity, the unit price will prevail and the line
item total price shall be corrected, unless in the opinion of
the TEC there is an obvious misplacement of the decimal
point in the unit price, in which case the total price as
quoted willgovern and the unit price will be corrected; and

(b) if there is an error in a total corresponding to the addition

or subtraction of subtotals, the subtotals shall prevail and
the total shall be corrected; and

(c) If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the

unit price in words will prevail, unless the amount
expressed in words is related to an arithmetic error, in
which case the amount in figures shall prevail subject to
(a) and (b) above.

55.2 If the Tenderer determined to be the lowest evaluated

tenderer does not accept the correction of errors, its tender
shall be disqualified and its tender security may be forfeited.

56. Financial evaluation 56.1 The TEC will evaluate each Tender that has been determined,
up to this stage of the evaluation, to be substantially
responsive to the requirements set out in the Tender
Document.

56.2 To evaluate a Tender, the TEC will consider the following:

(a) the Tender price, excluding Provisional Sums and the

provision, if any, for contingencies in the priced Bill of
Quantities, but including Day work items, where priced
competitively;
(b) adjustments for correction of arithmetical errors pursuant
to ITT Sub Clause 55.1;
(c) adjustments in order to take into consideration the
unconditional discounts or methodology for application of
the discount offered pursuant to ITT Sub Clause 27.7;
(d) Adjustments for any other acceptable variations or
deviations pursuant to ITT Sub Clause 52.10.

56.3 Variations, deviations, alternatives and other factors which are

in excess of the requirements of the Tender Document or
otherwise result in unsolicited benefits for the Procuring Entity
will not be taken into account in Tender evaluation.

34
 56.4 The estimated effect of any price adjustment provisions under
GCC Clause 71, applied over the period of execution of the
Contract, will not be taken into account in Tender evaluation.

56.5 If so indicated in the ITT Sub Clause 1.1 the Procuring Entity
may award one or multiple lots to one Tenderer following the
methodology specified in ITT Sub Clause 56.6.

56.6 To determine the lowest-evaluated lot or combination of lots,

the TEC will take into account:

(a) the experience and resources sufficient to meet the

aggregate of the qualifying criteria for the individual lot;
(b) the lowest-evaluated Tender for each lot calculated in
accordance with all the requirements of Evaluation
Criteria;
(c) the price reduction on account of discount per lot or
combination of lots and the methodology for application
of the discount as offered by the Tenderer in its Tender;
and
(d) the Contract-award sequence that provides the optimum
economic combination on the basis of least overall cost
of the total Contract package taking into account any
limitations due to constraints in Works or execution
capacity determined in accordance with the post-
qualification criteria stated under ITT Clause 59.

56.7 If the tender, which results in the lowest evaluated Tender

Price, is Substantially below the updated official estimate or
seriously unbalanced as a result of front loading in the opinion
of the Procuring Entity, the Procuring Entity may require the
Tenderer to produce details price analyses for any or all items
of the Bill of Quantities, to demonstrate the internal
consistency of those prices with the construction methods and
schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analyses,
taking into consideration the schedule of estimated Contract
payments, the Procuring Entity may require that the amount of
the performance security set forth in ITT Clause 64 be
increased at the expenses of the Tenderer to a level sufficient
to protect the Procuring Entity against financial loss in the
event of default of the successful Tenderer under the Contract.

57. Price Comparison 57.1 The TEC will compare all substantially responsive Tenders to
determine the lowest-evaluated Tender, in accordance with
ITT Clause 56.

57.2 In the extremely unlikely event that there is a tie for the lowest
evaluated price, the Tenderer with the superior past
performance with the Procuring Entity shall be selected,
whereby factors such as delivery period, quality of Works

35
 delivered, complaints history and performance indicators could
be taken into consideration.

57.3 In the event that there is a tie for the lowest price and none of
the Tenderers has the record of past performance with the
Procuring Entity as stated under ITT Sub Clause 57.2, then the
Tenderer shall be selected, subject to firm confirmation
through the Post-qualification process, after consideration as
to whether the Tenderer has demonstrated in its Tender
superior past performance with the other Procuring Entities or
a more efficient work programme and work methodology.

57.4 The successful Tenderer as stated under ITT Sub Clauses

57.1, 57.2 and 57.3 shall not be selected through lottery under
any circumstances.

58. Negotiations 58.1 No negotiations shall be held during the Tender evaluation or
award with the lowest or any other Tenderer.

58.2 The Procuring Entity through the TEC may, however, negotiate
with the lowest evaluated Tenderer with the objective to reduce
the Contract price by reducing the scope of works or a
reallocation of risks and responsibilities, only when it is found
that the lowest evaluated Tender is significantly higher than the
official estimate; the reasons for such higher price being duly
analysed.

58.3 If the Procuring Entity decides to negotiate for reducing the

scope of the requirements under ITT Sub Clause 58.2, it will
be required to guarantee that the lowest Tenderer remains the
lowest Tenderer even after the scope of work has been revised
and shall further be ensured that the objective of the
Procurement will not be seriously affected through this
reduction.

58.4 In the event that the Procuring Entity decides because of a

high Tender price to reduce the scope of the requirements to
meet the available budget, the Tenderer is not obliged to
accept the award and shall not be penalised in any way for
rejecting the proposed award.

59. Post-qualification 59.1 The Procuring Entity shall determine to its satisfaction whether
the Tenderer that is selected as having submitted the lowest
evaluated and substantially responsive tender is qualified to
perform the Contract satisfactorily.

59.2 The determination shall be based upon an examination of the

documentary evidence of the Tenderer’s qualifications
submitted by the Tenderer, pursuant to ITT Clause 32,
clarifications in accordance with ITT Clause 53 and the
qualification criteria indicated in ITT Clauses 12 to 17. Factors

36
 not included therein shall not be used in the evaluation of the
Tenderer’s qualification.

59.3 An affirmative determination shall be a prerequisite for award

of the Contract to the Tenderer. A negative determination shall
result in rejection of the Tenderer’s Tender, in which event the
Procuring Entity shall proceed to the next lowest evaluated
tender to make a similar determination of that Tenderer’s
capabilities to perform satisfactorily

59.4 The TEC may verify information contained in the Tender by

visiting the premises of the Tenderer as a part of the post
qualification process, if practical and appropriate.

60. Procuring Entity’s 60.1 The Procuring Entity reserves the right to accept any tender,
