Tender document fees are kept non-refundable to cover administrative overheads, whereas the Liquidated Damages (LD) clause enforces a financial penalty of 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week, subject to a statutory maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the aggregate contract price, ensuring timely delivery.

General Conditions of Contract (GCC) & Integrity Compliance

Contractual compliance is governed strictly by the General Conditions of Contract (GCC).
