Advisory Notes for Tenderers for Government Contracts
As part of the current procurement reform process, new documents have been developed for regular use for Government procurement. These new tendering documents are radically different from earlier ones and have been completely re-designed. Tenderers should study the documents carefully before preparing their offers to ensure compliance with the key requirements of the document. The following are a number of pointers that Tenderers should take into account when preparing their Tenders. 1. Pricing form and Tender form
The Pricing form must be completed including any emergency services if required by the Technical specifications. The total figure of the Price Schedule must be taken to the Tender form but not including any required emergency services. The Tender form is the offer you are making. One Tender form must accompany each Pricing form and must be signed and completed. You must also provide the emergency call-out costing if required. If it is not completed and signed, your tender will be rejected at the preliminary stage of evaluation.
2. Documents required
You must provide the documents stated in the Instructions to
Tenderers and the Tender Data Sheet including the certificate of site
visit if a site visit is indicated as compulsory. Failure to provide any of
the documents specified may result in rejection of your tender.
3. Qualifications form
The Qualification Forms provided at Annexes A and B must be
completed for each type of equipment that the tenderer is offering to
service.
4. The Contract form
