Submission of Tender Bids
Responsibility for Compliance
For the purpose of this Agreement, Tender Bids are any offer for the supply of goods or services you make as a response to a tender or ERFx notice from a Procuring Party (“Procuring Party”) that you may access via the Services. You acknowledge and agree to the following:
It is your responsibility to ensure that your Tender Bids are fully compliant with the terms and conditions contained in a relevant Tender Bid and any amendments thereto from the Procuring Party, and that you have paid all necessary fees required in respect of such Tender Bid. Tender Guide Consultants will not be liable in any way for your failure for any reason to comply with such terms and conditions.
Data Upload Requirements
It is your responsibility if you wish to upload data for submission to an electronic tender box pursuant to a Tender Bid through the Tender Guide Consultants website to ensure that such data is in a standardised electronic form and configuration (“Standard Format”) compatible both with Tender Guide Consultants and the Procuring Party’s systems and requirements. Failure to do so will constitute an unauthorised modification of the data for which neither Tender Guide Consultants nor the Procuring Party shall be responsible. If you have any doubts concerning the appropriate Standard Format you should contact either Tender Guide Consultants or the Procuring Party.
Lodging Responses
It is your responsibility to ensure that any tender or ERFx notice you respond to is lodged before the closing date and time. Tender Guide Consultants will, to the best of its ability, ensure that closing dates and times are correct, however, we accept no responsibility for incorrect closing dates and times for tender responses to be submitted using the electronic tender box provided, or where you are required to submit your response manually in accordance with the instructions from the Procuring Party. You should thoroughly check the closing dates and times within any tender documentation or check directly with the Procuring Party if in any doubt.
Role of Tender Guide Consultants
By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you acknowledge that Tender Guide Consultants cannot and will not act in any capacity (including, but not limited to, your agent or intermediary) with respect to influencing or amending the rules, practices or procedures of the Procuring Party including, but not limited to, deadlines, information required or the format of your bid.
Notification of Successful Bids
If you are the successful Tenderer in relation to any tender bid you will be notified by the Procuring Party directly. Tender Guide Consultants does not accept any responsibility in processing any notification between the Procuring Party and the Tender Guide Consultants services.
