1. Introduction

The Financial Reporting Council (“FRC”) currently occupies a unit in Queensway Government Offices (“QGO”) with a headcount of 27. Pursuant to the FRC (Amendment) Ordinance 2019, the role of the FRC would be expanded effective from 1 October 2019. In view of the expansion, the FRC intends to take up a lease for one whole floor, of 15,252 sq. ft. (lettable), at Hopewell Centre (“HC”) in Wanchai as the new office accommodation. The new office would accommodate headcount up to 70, including FRC’s current and new headcounts and provide space for future expansion. The FRC is scheduled to take possession of the whole of 24/F of HC on 1 September 2019. The premises will be handed over to the FRC in a “bare-shell” condition together with a metallic ceiling system, a raised floor system, and the supply of carpet tiles, electric roller blind, finger print access control system and wall paper for tenancy wall, in accordance with the Landlord’s standard specifications, on an open plan layout. We expect the relocation would be arranged no later than early December 2019 upon the completion of the renovation work in the new office.

4. Guidelines for Tenderers These guidelines are intended to provide Tenderers with guidance on the procedure for submitting their proposals and the approach that the FRC will generally adopt in assessing such proposals.

(v) signed by the Tenderer (in the case of an individual) or a duly authorized officer of the Tenderer (in the case of a company or partnership).

4.1.2 Personnel

These two separate envelopes shall be addressed to the Assessment Panel of the Financial Reporting Council at 29th Floor, High Block, Queensway Government Offices, 66 Queensway, Hong Kong, and should reach the said address by the closing time as defined in section 4.1.5 below.

Late submission of the proposals, incomplete Technical or Financial Proposals and amendments to the proposals after the closing time will not be considered.

4.1.6 Validity of Tenderers’ offers

By making a proposal in response to this Invitation to Tender, a Tenderer will be treated as having made an offer to the FRC. A Tenderer should clearly state in its proposal how long this offer will remain open.

4.3 Evaluation of Proposals

4.3.1 Evaluation process

There are two parts to the FRC’s evaluation process: evaluation of the Technical Proposal and evaluation of the Financial Proposal (in that order). The Financial Proposal will only be considered after the FRC has evaluated the Technical Proposal. The FRC will not make any selection based solely on price.

The Marking Scheme is attached in Annex C. Please note that the bid proposal will not be further assessed unless it meets all essential requirements and achieves the required minimum technical assessment score of 60 out of 100 marks.

4.3.2 Evaluation of the Technical Proposal

The FRC will generally evaluate the technical aspects of each proposal according to the following criteria:

(a) Understanding of the requirements

(b) Design concepts

(c) Proposed stacking and layout plan

(d) Relevant experience

(e) Project team structure and dedicated personnel

(f) Project management approach

Page 9: Invitation to Tender - The Financial Reporting Council Invitation (Office... · 2. Invitation to Tender and Interpretation The FRC invites tenders containing proposals for the provision

9

The above criteria are for reference only, which provide Tenderers an indicative guideline of their relative significance. FRC reserves the right to change the criteria and/or the weighting of any item without further notifying the Tenderers.

4.4 Notification of Results and Rejection of Proposals

The FRC will notify all Tenderers by post and/or e-mail within 21 days of finalizing its selection as to whether or not they have been selected by the FRC. The FRC retains the right to reject any or all tender(s) submitted.

4.5 Acceptance

No Tender (or part thereof) shall be taken to have been accepted unless and until execution of the Contract.

5. Payment and Other Terms

5.1 Payment terms

The FRC has a performance-based payment policy, under which payments will be made on actual delivery of services or products. Wherever possible, and if the FRC considers appropriate in the circumstances, the FRC will make payments to the successful Tenderer for the Project in the following installments:

(a) 20% of the total contract price shall be paid upon the FRC and the successful

Tenderer entering into a binding Contract;

(b) 70% of the total contract price shall be paid after completion of the Project to the satisfaction of the FRC;

(c) 10% shall constitute the retention amount and shall be paid 12 months after the completion of the Project provided that the successful Tenderer has rectified all defects within the 12-month period.

5.2 Termination of service

The successful Tenderer shall use its best endeavours to perform the Contract with such due care and skill as is expected of a provider of similar services and products and of a comparable standing in the industry but if for whatever reason, the FRC in its opinion, concludes that the successful Tenderer is in breach of the Contract or does not provide the level of service required by the FRC, the FRC shall have the right to terminate the Contract by notice in writing to the successful Tenderer.

5.3 Conflicts of interest

A Tenderer must declare that they have no interest which conflicts, or has the potential to conflict, with its duties to the FRC under the proposal. If a Tenderer has any interest which conflicts, or has the potential to conflict, with its duties to the FRC under the proposal, the Tenderer should clearly state this in the declaration form (refer to Annex D). This requirement extends to the Tenderer’s associates, associated persons, group companies and the Tenderer’s directors, staff members, subcontractors and agents involved in the tender (including their associates and associated persons).

5.4 The incorporation of proposals into Contract signed with the FRC

Any proposals and responses to the FRC’s inquiries submitted by the successful Tenderer may form part of the Contract made between the FRC and such Tenderer. Every representation by the successful Tenderer (whether of fact or performance, and whether set out in the proposal or otherwise) will be incorporated as warranties in any Contract between the FRC and such Tenderer. Therefore, any statement of fact or performance that the Tenderer does not wish to be treated as a warranty should be clearly indicated. If the Tenderer intends to limit liability for damages arising from either professional negligence or non-performance under the terms of the Contract, please specify what restrictions on liability are proposed. The FRC would normally expect liability limits for service contracts to be expressed as a multiple of the contract price.

5.5 Anti-collusion

The Tenderer shall not communicate to any person other than the FRC the amount of any tender, adjust the amount of any tender by arrangement with any other person, make any arrangement with any other person about whether or not he or that other person should or should not tender, or otherwise collude with any other person in any manner whatsoever in the tendering process until the tenderer is notified by the FRC of the outcome of the tender exercise. Any breach of or non-compliance with this by the tenderer shall, without affecting the tenderer’s liability for such breach or non- compliance, invalidate its tender. The tenderer shall submit to the FRC a duly signed letter in the form set out in Annex E. The letter shall be signed by a person authorised to sign the contract on the tenderer’s behalf.

This shall have no application to the tenderer’s communications in strict confidence with its own insurers or brokers to obtain an insurance quotation for computation of tender price and communications in strict confidence with its consultants / sub-contractors to solicit their assistance in preparation of tender submission.

5.6 Confidentiality

The Tenderer should treat all information contained in this document, all information previously provided, and any subsequent communications with the FRC, as confidential. This information should only be used by the Tenderers to prepare responses to the tender. Information must not be released to external parties without the express written consent of the FRC.

All responses and other materials submitted in response to this document will become the property of the FRC. The FRC assumes no obligation and shall incur no liability regarding confidentiality of all or any portion of a response or any other material submitted in response to this document unless expressly agreed in writing to protect specifically identified information.

5.7 Prevention of Bribery

A Tenderer shall prohibit its directors, employees, agents, and sub-contractors who are involved in this tender from offering, soliciting or accepting any advantage as defined in the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, Cap 201 when conducting business in connection with this mandate. The Tenderer shall take all necessary measures (including by way of a code of conduct or contractual provisions where appropriate) to ensure that its directors, employees, agents and sub-contractors are aware of the prohibitions in this clause.

Page 11: Invitation to Tender - The Financial Reporting Council Invitation (Office... · 2. Invitation to Tender and Interpretation The FRC invites tenders containing proposals for the provision

11

Failure to so procure or any act of offering, soliciting or accepting advantage referred to above committed by the tenderer or by an employee, agent or sub-contractor of the tenderer shall, without affecting the tenderer’s liability for such failure and act, result in its tender being invalidated.

5.8 FRC Specified Contract

The successful Tenderer is expected to enter into a Contract with the FRC. Any waiver, cancellation, alteration or amendment of or to any of the terms and conditions of the Contract must be agreed to by both parties and effected in writing by the successful Tenderer and the FRC.

5.9 Personal Data Provided

All personal data provided in a Tender will be used by the FRC for the purposes of the Invitation to Tender and all other purposes arising from or incidental to it (including for the purposes of tender evaluation, the award of the Contract and resolution of any dispute arising from the Invitation to Tender). By submitting a Tender, a Tenderer is regarded to have agreed to, and to have obtained from each individual whose personal data is provided in the Tender, his consent for the disclosure, use and further disclosure by the FRC of the personal data for the purposes set out above. An individual to whom personal data belongs and a person authorised by him in writing has the right of access and correction with respect to the individual’s personal data as provided for in the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, Cap 486.
