Subject: Clarification Regarding Performance Guarantee / Performance Security – P84463

Thank you for the clarification. However, the response appears to identify the formats available in EPADS 2.0, but does not clarify the specific basis for excluding Insurance Guarantee from the present tender.

Kindly clarify whether EPADS 2.0 itself prohibits the Procuring Agency from accepting an Insurance Guarantee as Performance Security. If not, please identify the specific PPRA provision, NBP policy, circular, notification or competent-authority approval under which Insurance Guarantee has been excluded from this tender.

This clarification is particularly relevant as PPRA itself has clarified that the type of guarantee is to be prescribed by the Procuring Agency in the bidding documents and that there is no bar to obtaining an Insurance Guarantee from a supplier.

It is therefore requested that the specific basis for the present exclusion of Insurance Guarantee may kindly be provided.

Subject: Clarification Regarding Performance Guarantee / Performance Security – P84463

Kindly clarify the legal and policy basis for prescribing Bank Guarantee as the sole form of Performance Security in this tender while excluding Insurance Guarantee. PPRA Rule 39 does not appear to prescribe Bank Guarantee as the exclusive form of Performance Guarantee, and PPRA has also clarified that there is no bar to obtaining an Insurance Guarantee from a supplier.

It is also pertinent that Insurance Guarantees issued by insurance companies are presently being accepted in ongoing NBP Engineering works. Therefore, kindly clarify whether any specific PPRA provision, NBP policy, circular, notification or competent authority approval requires the exclusion of Insurance Guarantee from this tender.

BOQ Issue

Dear Sir

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have noted that there appear to be two BOQs in the tender documents:

The first BOQ, from pages 43 to 121, contains an estimated cost and covers Civil, Plumbing, Electrical, Air Conditioning (ACs), and Furniture works.

The second BOQ, from pages 200 to 244, does not contain any estimated cost and appears to cover the works only up to the Electrical portion.

In view of the above, kindly clarify which BOQ is to be considered for the submission of our quotation and how the rates are required to be filled/submitted.

Specifically, please confirm whether bidders are required to:

Fill in rates against the BOQ from pages 43 to 121; or

Fill in rates against the BOQ from pages 200 to 244; or

Fill in rates in both BOQs, if both are required for submission.

Your clarification will help us ensure that our financial quotation is submitted in the required format and in accordance with the tender requirements.

(same is case for your advertised tenders)

We shall appreciate your guidance in this regard.

Regards,
Malik Enterprises
