Tenders must not be qualified. Tenders must not be conditional or accompanied by statements that could be construed as rendering them equivocal and/or placed on a different footing from other tenders. Only tenders submitted without qualification, strictly in accordance with the instructions, conditions and specifications will be accepted for consideration. The Buyer’s decision as to whether a tender is acceptable will be final and the supplier may not be consulted.
It is the responsibility of prospective suppliers to make all necessary inspections, surveys, measurements, and enquiries to satisfy themselves before submitting their tender as to the extent and nature of the work and materials necessary for the performance of the contract and in general to have obtained for themselves all necessary information as to risks, contingencies and all other circumstances influencing or affecting their tender. It is the responsibility of prospective suppliers to obtain for themselves at their own expense any additional information necessary for the preparation of their tender.
The Buyer reserves the right to add, amend and/or remove documents at any time during the Tendering process to clarify any issue or amend any aspect of the CfT. All such documentation changes shall be deemed to form part of the CfT and shall supplement and/or supersede any part of the CfT to the extent indicated. Such changes shall be accepted by the supplier without reservation.
Suppliers are only permitted to upload files in the areas designated for a response to a question. Any additional information uploaded that does not refer to the question asked will not be considered at the evaluation stage.
Responses to questions will be treated as standalone, referring only to the question for which the response is submitted. The evaluation panel will not take account of information submitted in another part or section of the tender when evaluating each question.
