Financial Safeguards, EMD & Performance Security Guarantees

Tender document fees, if applicable, remain non-refundable. To mitigate project delays, a Liquidated Damages (LD) clause is strictly enforced at 0.5 percent per week of delay, capped at 10 percent of the total contract value. These parameters ensure financial discipline, protect the procuring entity against default, and maintain the integrity of the public procurement process throughout the recruitment lifecycle.
