Additional Notes

This tender is for goods (pump and motor) and does not involve complex services. However, bidders should note that the "80/20 system" refers to a preferential procurement scoring mechanism where price accounts for 80 points and specific goals (e.g., local content, enterprise development) account for 20 points. The "Informal Tender Portal" is the designated online platform for submission, and all responses must be uploaded there. The requirement for samples/brochures within 72 hours means shortlisted bidders must be prepared to provide physical or digital documentation of the offered products quickly. Failure to meet any of the stated conditions may invalidate the tender submission.
