Bidders shall submit a two-cover system comprising a technical bid with all supporting credentials and a separate financial bid, ensuring no price information is disclosed within the technical cover.

The technical evaluation committee will scrutinize submissions against eligibility criteria, followed by the opening of the commercial BoQ for technically qualified bidders to determine the lowest responsive bidder (L1).
