Section IV.  TENDER REQUIREMENTS

INFORMATION RELATED TENDER PROCEDURE  

“PTK is using negotiated procedures because of the difficulty of having precise contract specifications due the complexity and different types of billing systems available. It is doing this pursuant to permission of the Kosovo Special Representative of the Secretary General of the United Nations (SRSG). The SRSG has also permitted a shortened procedure without the expression of interest stage. This will work as follows:-

IV.1)    PUBLICATION OF RE-NOTICE on 10 July 2007  

IV.2)     DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF TENDER

Tenders shall be received by the contracting authority at the latest (no earlier than 40 days after the notice publication):

Intended date of dispatching invitations to negotiate the contract terms and/or conditions: Not known yet.

IV.3) TIME LIMIT FOR REQUEST OF ADDITIONAL OR CLARIFYING INFORMATION

You may make a written request to the contracting authority for additional or clarifying information which you believe is needed to prepare or submit a responsive tender. Such request must be received by the contracting authority, according to Section 51.1 of Law No. 2003/17, at the latest on:

Date:  

Such a request may be made by use of the request form (please see Annex 11) and submitted to the contracting authority by electronic means, letter or fax.

IV.4) Tender Opening Meeting

Every tenderer shall have the right to have a representative present to observe the opening of tenders, which takes place:

During the tender opening, the contracting authority will read out loud: (i) the name of the tenderer.

All this will be recorded in the minutes of the tender opening meeting, which shall be signed by the Procurement Officer and by all participants in the process of tender opening. Copies of such minutes shall immediately be distributed to all tenderers.

PTK will then verify that tenderers meet the criteria set out in detail in the tender dossier and negotiate with the three (3) most compliant tenderers in Negotiation Phase One. They will then negotiate with two (2) to finally identify the tenderer submitting the best and most economically advantageous tender. More details are in the tender Dossier. This may require a presentation in the week following evaluation by the 3 tenderers and the submission of additional documents after the tender stage and depending on the differences between the tenders there may be a series of successive stages to assess the award criteria in the tender dossier. More details of the requirements for each stage will be provided before each stage to all the remaining tenderers on an equal basis.”
