A pre-bid clarification meeting is convened to address technical queries from prospective bidders, ensuring transparency and providing necessary amendments or corrigenda to the tender document before the final submission deadline.

3

Bidders submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with credentials and a separate commercial BoQ, ensuring no financial details are disclosed within the technical envelope to maintain evaluation integrity.

The technical evaluation committee reviews submissions against pre-qualification criteria, followed by the opening of commercial BoQs for technically qualified bidders to determine the L1 vendor based on the lowest quote.

Upon successful financial evaluation and approval by the competent authority, a formal Letter of Award (LoA) is issued to the L1 bidder, initiating the contract signing and performance security submission.
