TWO-ENVELOPE SYSTEM
PROVISION OF WATER QUALITY TESTING SIYA-T06/2025/26
Where stated in the Tender Document that a two-envelope system is to be followed, open only the
technical proposal of valid Tenders in the presence of Tenderers’ agents who choose to attend at the
time and place stated in the Tender Document and announce the name of each Tenderer whose
technical proposal is opened.
Evaluate the quality of the technical proposals offered by Tenderers, then advice Tenderers who remain
in contention for the award of the contract of the time and place when the financial proposals will be
opened. Open only the financial proposals of Tenderers, who score in the quality evaluation above the
minimum number of points for quality stated in the Tender Data, and announce the score obtained for
the technical proposals and the total price and any preferences claimed. Return unopened financial
proposals to Tenderers whose technical proposals failed to achieve the minimum number of points for
quality.
Evaluate the quality of the technical proposals offered by Tenderers, then advice Tenderers who remain
in contention for the award of the contract of the time and place when the financial proposals will be
opened. Open only the financial proposals of Tenderers, who score in the quality evaluation above the
minimum number of points for quality stated in the Tender Data, and announce the score obtained for the
technical proposals and the total price and any preferences claimed. Return unopened financial
proposals to Tenderers whose technical proposals failed to achieve the minimum number of points for
quality.
NON-DISCLOSURE
Not disclose to Tenderers, or to any other person not officially concerned with such processes, information
relating to the evaluation and comparison of Tender offers, the final evaluation price and recommendations for
the award of a contract, until after the award of the contract to the successful Tenderer.
GROUNDS FOR REJECTION AND DISQUALIFICATION
Determine whether there has been any effort by a Tenderer to influence the processing of Tender
offers and instantly disqualify a Tenderer (and his Tender offer) if it is established that he engaged in
corrupt or fraudulent practices.
TEST FOR RESPONSIVENESS
Determine, on opening and before detailed evaluation, whether each Tender offer properly received:
meets the requirements of these Conditions of Tender,
has been properly and fully completed and signed, and
is responsive to the other requirements of the Tender documents.
A responsive Tender is one that conforms to all the terms, conditions, and specifications of the Tender
documents without material deviation or qualification. A material deviation or qualification is one which,
in the Employer's opinion, would:
Detrimentally affect the scope, quality, or performance of the Works,
services or supply identified in the Scope of Work,
Change the Employer's or the Tenderer's risks and responsibilities under
the contract, or
Affect the competitive position of other Tenderers presenting responsive
Tenders, if it were to be rectified.
Reject a non-responsive Tender offer, and not allow it to be subsequently
made responsive by correction or withdrawal of the non-conforming
deviation or reservation
PROVISION OF WATER QUALITY TESTING SIYA-T06/2025/26
ARITHMETICAL ERRORS
Check responsive Tender offers for arithmetical errors, correcting them in the following manner:
Where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words,
the amount in words shall govern.
If a Bill of Quantities (or Bill of Quantities or schedule of rates) applies and
there is an error in the line item total resulting from the product of the unit
rate and the quantity, the line item total shall govern and the rate shall be
corrected. Where there is an obviously gross misplacement of the decimal point in
the unit rate, the line item total as quoted shall govern, and the unit rate will be
corrected.
Where there is an error in the total of the prices either as a result of other
corrections required by this checking process or in the Tenderer's addition
of prices, the total of the prices shall govern and the Tenderer will be asked
to revise selected item prices (and their rates if a Bill of Quantities applies)
to achieve the Tendered total of the prices.
Consider the rejection of a Tender offer if the Tenderer does not correct or
accept the correction of his arithmetical errors in the manner described
above.
CLARIFICATION OF A TENDER OFFER
Obtain clarification from a Tenderer on any matter that could give rise to ambiguity in a contract
arising from the Tender offer.
EVALUATION OF TENDER OFFERS
Appoint an evaluation panel of not less than three persons. Reduce each responsive Tender offer
to a comparative offer and evaluate it using the Tender evaluation method that is indicated in the
Tender Data and described below:
