We are submitting this formal clarification request regarding the delivery lead time specified in the above-referenced tender document for the supply of Polyethylene (PE) materials.

We respectfully request SSGC to kindly consider amending the required delivery lead time to a minimum of 06 (six) weeks from the date of issuance of the Purchase Order (PO).

This request is necessitated by the ongoing worldwide supply chain disruptions, delayed voyages, port congestion, and vessel unavailability affecting approved suppliers of PE raw materials. These global constraints are beyond our control and are significantly impacting the timely availability of raw materials, production scheduling, quality testing, and international shipping logistics.

We assure you of our full commitment to quality and timely execution, provided we are granted this reasonable lead time to manage procurement, manufacturing, and logistics effectively. We kindly request SSGC to issue a formal clarification or addendum to the tender so that all bidders may align their offers accordingly.

We look forward to your favorable response.
