terms and conditions of the tender documents without material deviations. KenGen’s

determination of a tender’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the tender itself

without recourse to extrinsic evidence.

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

9.7 Tenders determined to be substantially responsive will be checked for any arithmetic errors.

(a) Where there is a discrepancy between the amount in figures and the amount in

words, the amount in words will prevail; and

(b) Where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line item total resulting

from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted will prevail,

unless in the opinion of KenGen’s representative, there is an obvious

typographical error, in which case the adjustment will be made to the entry

containing that error.

(c) In the event of a discrepancy between the tender amount as stated in the Form of

Tender and the corrected tender figure in the main summary of the Schedule of

Quantities/Quotation, the amount as stated in the Form of Tender shall prevail

from the time of the tender opening to the time the contract is awarded. The Tenderer shall

not influence KenGen on any matter relating to its tender from the time of the tender opening

substantially responsive, pursuant to Clauses 9.6 and 9.7.

9.11 KenGen’s evaluation of a tender will exclude and not take into account any allowance for

of contract. Tenders will be evaluated on the basis of this price.

10.1 In the absence of pre-qualification, KenGen will determine to its satisfaction

whether the Tenderer that is selected as having submitted the lowest evaluated responsive

tender is qualified to perform the contract satisfactorily.

10.2 The determination will take into account the Tenderer financial, technical, and

production capabilities. It will be based upon an examination of the documentary

evidence of the tenderers qualifications submitted by the Tenderer, as well as such other

information as KenGen deems necessary and appropriate. KenGen shall carry out an

inspection on the Tenderer’s premises (food preparation area) and/or equipment to

ascertain the capability of such Tenderer to perform the works as further detailed in the

Technical Specifications and Price Schedule.

10.3 An affirmative determination will be a prerequisite for award of the contract to

the Tenderer. A negative determination will result in rejection of the Tenderer’s tender,

in which event KenGen will proceed to the next lowest evaluated tender to make a

similar determination of that Tenderer’s capabilities to perform satisfactorily.

10.4 Subject to Clauses 6.4, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13 and 10.5 KenGen will award the contract

to the successful Tenderer whose tender has been determined to be substantially

responsive and has been determined to be the lowest evaluated tender, provided further

that the Tenderer is determined to be qualified to perform the contract satisfactorily.

10.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 10.4 above, KenGen reserves the right

to accept or reject any tender and to cancel the tendering process and reject all tenders at

any time prior to the award of Contract without thereby incurring any liability to the

affected Tenderer or Tenderers or any obligation to inform the affected Tenderer or

Tenderers of the grounds for the action.

10.6 The Tenderer whose tender has been accepted will be notified of the award prior

to expiration of the tender validity period in writing or facsimile. This notification

(hereinafter and in all Contract documents called the “Letter of Award”) will state the

sum (hereinafter and in all Contract documents called the “Contract Price”), which

KenGen will pay the Contractor in consideration of the execution, completion, and

rectifying defects of the Works by the Contractor as prescribed by the Contract. The

notification of award will constitute the formation of the Contract, subject to the tenderer

furnishing the Performance Security and signing the Contract Agreement.

10.7 Following notification of award, KenGen shall invite the successful Tenderer for

Contract negotiations in order to reach an agreement on all points and sign the Contract.

The negotiations shall be held at a place and date to be specified in the invitation letter.

performance obligations under the Contract, including any warranty obligations, under

or Clause 10.8 shall constitute sufficient grounds for the annulment of the award and

forfeiture of the tender security, in which event KenGen may make the award to the next

lowest evaluated tenderer or call for new tenders.

10.13 Upon the successful tenderer’s furnishing of the performance security pursuant to
