thanksme,

as you have highlighted before, the content of the Intention to Award are covered by REG 231(4). Therefore, they should be the same.

thanksme,

Going by R 231(2) of GN NO. 446 of 2013, the answer is Yes - " ....... issue a notice of intention to award the contract to all tenderers who participated in the tender in question given them 14 days to submit a complaint a complaint, if any.

It goes without say - the content of the notice will be the same. Treat it as you are issuing an addendum to the bidding documents.

suppose the tendering process involved bidder X,Y,Z. and the lowest evaluated bidder is X, will the NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AWARD be sent to All bidders {X,Y,Z}, and with the exception of their addresses will the content of NOTICE be the same?

My concern is on the composition of A NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AWARD CONTRACT. REG 231(4). will those information be written in the same notice? that is
(a) name of the successful tenderer;
(b) the contract sum and completion or delivery period;
(c) reasons as to why the tenderers were not
successful.

thanksme,

What is the issue with the regulation you are referring to? Simply, this is a "cool-off period" or "standstill period" . Its purpose is to allow unsuccessful bidders to challenge the awarding decision before notification of award is issued. In in the other countries - is before the contract is signed.

Any clarification on that regulation.
