the Nepal Telecom will consider only the main offer for evaluation purpose, and under no

circumstances, evaluation will be influenced by anything mentioned in alternate or optional

offer(s).

However, based on cost-benefit and/ or technical analysis, the Nepal Telecom, if deemed

necessary, may consider alternate or optional offer(s) during contract negotiation with the

successful bidder.

17.2 Preliminary Examination

17.2.1 The Nepal Telecom will examine the bids to verify whether the bid is valid and complete,

whether the bid is accompanied by valid bid securities, whether any computational errors

have been made, whether required sureties have been furnished, whether the documents

have been properly signed, and whether the bids are generally in order.

17.2.2 Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis. If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price which is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail, and the total price will be corrected. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail.

If the supplier does not accept the correction of the errors, its bid will be rejected, and

its bid security shall be forfeited. The Nepal Telecom reserves the rights to award the

tender to the next lowest bidder or may go for re-tender whichever is convenient.

17.2.3 The Nepal Telecom may waive any minor informality, nonconformity, or irregularity in a bid, which does not constitute a major material deviation, provided such waiver does not prejudice or affect the relative ranking of any bidder but bids with any deviations to the clauses marked with asterisk (*) shall be considered as major deviations and the bid with such major deviations shall be rejected.

17.2.4 Prior to the detailed evaluation, the Nepal Telecom will determine the substantial

responsiveness of each bid to certain critical provisions stipulated in the Nepal Telecom

Page 15: Nepal Telecom (Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited) Tender ...eproc.ntc.net.np/eligibility/43275_3943_-Bid-Doc.pdf · (Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited) Tender No. NDCL/BRD/ST-02/071/72

Tender No. NDCL/BRD/ST-02/071/72 for Supply and Delivery of Cable Network Tools & Accessories Page 15

tender document. For the purpose of this clause, a substantially responsive bid is the one, which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the bidding documents without major material deviations. Deviations from, or objections or reservations to critical provisions, such as those concerning Bid Security, Payment Terms, Applicable Law, Taxes and Duties, warranty, Delivery and the technical requirements marked with asterisk (*) will be deemed to be major deviations as mentioned in clause No. - e of Part - D of section I : INB. The Nepal Telecom’s determination of a bid’s responsiveness will be based on the contents of the bid itself without recourse to any extrinsic evidence.

17.2.5 If a bid has one or more major deviations, it will be rejected by the Nepal Telecom and will

not substantially be made responsive by the bidder by correction of the nonconformity. 17.3 Detailed Evaluation

17.3.1 Detailed evaluation shall be carried out for those bids, which are found to be responsive after

preliminary examination as per above clause 17.2. Detailed evaluation shall be based on clause by clause compliance statements or comments on condition of contract and technical specification as well as technical details, catalogues, brochures etc. furnished by each bidder.

17.3.2 Once the bids are considered substantially responsive after detailed evaluation, all those

responsive bids shall be judged from financial evaluation perspective only and no weightage shall be given to other technical details or parameters or additional features and facilities of the offered products.

17.3.3 For evaluation of the bids, in addition to the bid price and other commercial and technical requirements, the following factors shall be taken into consideration for evaluation purpose:

17.3.3.1 If the offered quantity is not sufficient to meet the Nepal Telecom’s requirement, required

quantity will be loaded to fulfill the requirement and price will be adjusted accordingly taking

into consideration the offered unit price of the same bidder.

17.3.3.2 If some required items are missing in the offer, then the highest price for such missing

item(s) among the qualified bidder will be considered for evaluation purpose and loaded to

bring all bidders in equal footing.

However, if the bidder who misses/short supplies the required items happens to be the

successful bidder, the missed/short supplied items shall be provided free of cost to the

Nepal Telecom.

If major items, without which the purpose of bidding will not be fulfilled, are missing,

the bid shall be considered non-responsive and shall be rejected. But considering the

urgency, Nepal Telecom reserves the rights to award the contract partially.

17.3.3.3Delivery Period

If the offered delivery period is more than the period specified in clause No. - 5.1 of section

IV : Conditions of Contract, the price adjustment will be made by loading the bid price by

one half (0.5%) percent of the total quoted price per week for the delayed period up to four

(4) weeks. Bids with deviation in delivery period by more than four (4) weeks will be

rejected.

17.4 Contract Award Based on evaluation as per above clause Nos. - 17.1, 17.2 and 17.3, the lowest evaluated priced bid among all responsive bids will be selected as the successful bid. As financial evaluation shall be done as per clause No. - 17.3.3, total evaluated price may differ from the price quoted by the bidder in it’s price schedule. Financial comparison shall be based on “evaluated price” and not

Page 16: Nepal Telecom (Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited) Tender ...eproc.ntc.net.np/eligibility/43275_3943_-Bid-Doc.pdf · (Nepal Doorsanchar Company Limited) Tender No. NDCL/BRD/ST-02/071/72
