Para 4.9.2 — WORKS_MANUAL

4.9.3 Withdrawal, Substitution and Modification of Tenders The tenderer, after submitting the tender, is permitted to withdraw, substitute or modify the tenders in writing without forfeiture of Bid Security/ EMD, provided these are received duly sealed and marked like the original tender, up to the date and time of receipt of the tender. Any such request received after the prescribed date and time of receipt of tenders will not be considered. No bid may be withdrawn in the interval between the deadline for submission of bids and expiration of the period of bid validity. Withdrawal of a bid during this period will result in forfeiture of the bidder’s bid security (EMD) and other sanctions.

4.9.2 Sealing and Marking of Tenders The tender document is to indicate the total number of tender sets (e.g., in duplicate or in triplicate etc) required to be submitted. In case bids are asked in a number of copies, the tenderer is to seal the original and each copy of the tender in separate envelopes, duly marking the same as “original”, “duplicate” and so on and also marking these as mentioned above. In case of two envelope bidding system, the techno-commercial bid and financial bid should be sealed by the tenderer in separate inner covers duly marking these as ‘Techno-commercial Bid’ and ‘Financial Bid’ and marked with the address of the purchase office and the tender reference number on the envelopes. Further, the sentence ‘’NOT TO BE OPENED” before……….. (due date & time of tender opening) are also to be put on these envelopes and these sealed inner covers are to be put in a bigger outer cover which should also be sealed and duly super scribed in a similar manner. If the outer envelope is not sealed and marked properly as above, the Procuring Entity will not assume any responsibility for its misplacement, premature opening, late opening etc. These details regarding the submission of bids should also form a part of the ITB and AITB in the tender documents; all the above instructions are to be suitably incorporated in the tender documents.
