B. EU/ONT/002/2020-2021: Supply and Delivery of Natural Building Materials, Hardware, and Plumbing materials.
That the bidder sought clarification on the following:
- That the tender security/bond are separated per lot thus unfair considering the tender is a single tender with different lots
Clarification
That interested bidders are required to submit one (1) No. bid bond of kshs. 50,000.00 as per the instruction on the tender notice and NOT every tender security per lot. That interested AGPO Groups are required to dully fill, sign and stamp the tender securing declaration form on page 53 (i.e. just one tender securing declaration form regardless of the number of LOTS quoted) together with the valid AGPO Certificate from the national treasury.
- That it is unfair to have 120 items in one LOT and that bidders MUST quote for all items as per the items no. M10 on pages 20 and page 21 under the appendix to instruction to tenderers and that the special groups categories supposed to submit such a tender considering even the big hardware’s shops do not offer all this at a go.
Clarification
- That interested bidders are required to fill all the items per the interested LOT (as per the items no. M10 on pages 20 and page 21 under the appendix to instruction to tenderers).
- That the tender is an open national tender and NOT reserved to special groups. That the special groups specializing in the supply and delivery of general hardware materials are encouraged to participate.
- That the schedule of requirements are general user items that are easily found in hardware stores.
- And that this being an open tender the 14 days given to interested bidders is sufficient to enable bidders to prepare and submit the tender taking into the consideration all the items required.
All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
Thank you.
