bid to the bidding documents. For purposes of these Clauses, a substantially responsive bid is one,
which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding documents without material
deviations. Deviations from, or objections or reservations to critical provisions, such as those

subsequently be made responsive by the Bidder by correction of the nonconformity.

31. Evaluation and Comparison of Bids.

the qualified Bidders.

31.2 The Purchaser's evaluation of a bid will take into consideration one or more of the following factors

All the bids, which are opened, read out and considered for evaluation will be checked for
qualification requirements in respect of technical and commercial aspects. Such of the bids, which
do not meet the qualification requirements, will not be evaluated further. The bid is to be checked
for its conformity to the technical specification. If it does not meet the technical specification, the
Bid will not be evaluated further. However, if in the opinion of the purchaser the bidder has offered
equipment / material better than the technical specification the same may be considered.
 20

The bid may be rejected for the following reasons:

i. Not in the prescribed form

Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis.

● Where there is a discrepancy between the unit price and total price, the unit price will prevail and
the total price will be corrected accordingly.

● Where there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail.

● If there is a discrepancy between the soft copy and the hard copy, the hard copy will prevail.

● If the bidder does not attest any overwriting in the price column such Bids will be rejected.

● Failure on the part of the bidder to agree to the above corrections will result in rejection of his offer
and forfeiture of his bid security.

● It will be ensured that the required sureties have been furnished and that the documents have been
properly signed.

● The purchaser's evaluation of a bid shall take into consideration one or more of the following
factors

(a) Delivery schedule offered in the bid;

(b) Deviations in payment schedule from that specified in the general terms and conditions of

(g) Other specific criteria indicated in the Bidding documents.
 21

In addition to the Purchaser’s evaluation of a bid will take into account the net landed cost of the
material at the final destination. For the purpose of evaluation net landed cost is arrived at by adding
all elements of the basic price, allowable discount, excise duty, sales tax & any other levies, packing
& forwarding, freight charges, insurance (transit & storage) as quoted by the bidder, unloading and
stacking at final destination, servicing and other charges as called for.

responsive bid is one that conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding documents
without material deviations. For this purpose superscription, qualification requirement, bid security,
validity, delivery, payment term, price schedule, taxes and duties will be deemed to be the critical
provisions and deviations in any one of these items will be deemed to be a material deviation.

31.4. A substantially responsive bid is one, which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding
documents without material deviations. For this purpose superscription, qualification requirement,
bid security, validity, delivery, payment term, price schedule, submission of Types test certificates
(as per Clause 4 section VI), taxes and duties will be deemed to the critical provisions and
deviations in any one of these things will be deemed to be a material deviation.
