3.3 Duties of the Tender Opening Board<br />

3.3.1 Meeting.<br />

The TOB shall convene as soon as possible after the closing date and time stipulated in<br />

the RFP.<br />

3.3.2 Opening Conditions.<br />

No opening may take place in the absence of a member of the Procurement Department.<br />

Prior to the opening of the proposals, the TOB shall verify that the dispatch conditions<br />

have been met.<br />

3.3.3 Admissibility of proposals<br />

i. Proposals shall be admitted if they were received before the closing date and<br />

time and if they do not show prima facie evidence of a major non-compliance<br />

with the RFP’s formal conditions (including specific key acceptance factors)<br />

which would render the proposal incomplete or could impair the fairness or<br />

secrecy of the competition.<br />

ii.<br />

iii.<br />

Proposals received after the closing date and time may be admitted if the<br />

framework contractor has dispatched the proposal in time to meet the closing<br />

date and has notified the Contracts Officer in writing (fax, e-mail with proof of<br />

dispatch…) of the dispatch.<br />

If a proposal, having been dispatched in time, with the proper written<br />

notification sent to the Agency, appears to have been lost or delayed in the<br />

transmission, the Agency may grant the concerned framework contractor an<br />

extension allowing for the dispatching of duplicates within defined time-limits.<br />

In such a case, the Contract officer shall request the concerned framework<br />

contractor to send within 1 (one) working day the summary description, price<br />

and schedule of delivery by telecopy, and when technically feasible the full<br />

proposal by e-mail in Pdf format.<br />

iv.<br />

Proposals arriving after the expiry of the said limits and for which no proper<br />

written notification or proof of dispatch was send to the Agency in due time<br />

shall not be taken into consideration and will be returned unopened to the<br />

framework contractor concerned.<br />

3.3.4 Non-admissible proposals<br />

When a proposal is considered non-admissible by the TOB, the TOB Chairperson shall<br />

inform the TEB Chairperson and both shall submit the matter to the Head of the local<br />

Procurement division/ service for decision. If the proposal is ruled non-admissible, the<br />

local Procurement division/ service shall within 3 working days from the decision<br />

notify the concerned framework contractor in writing (“notification of nonadmissibility”),<br />

stating the reasons for which the proposal was considered non<br />

admissible.
