The Public Body shall compare all substantially responsive Bids in accordance with ITB Clause 38.3 and methodology specified in Section 3, Evaluation Methodology and Criteria to determine the lowest evaluated Bid.
Post-qualification Evaluation
After identifying the successful Bidder by evaluating the Bid documents against the criteria set forth in this Bidding Documents the Public Body shall conduct post qualification evaluation to establish the current qualification of the successful Bidder where it feels that it has to be ascertained.
Such post qualification evaluation of the successful Bidder may relate to submission of the documentary evidence specified in ITB Clause 37, unless satisfactory documents are already included in the Bid, concerning its current legal, professional, technical, and financial standing and conformity to the requirements stated in this Bidding Documents.
If the successful bidder fails to provide this documentary proof within 15 calendar days following the Public Body's request or if the successful bidder is found to have provided false information its Bid shall be disqualified, in which event the Public Body shall proceed to the next lowest evaluated Bid to make a similar determination of that Bidder’s capabilities to perform satisfactorily.
Acceptance or Rejection of Bids
The Public Body reserves the right to accept or reject any bid, and to annul the bidding process and reject all bids at any time prior to contract award, without thereby incurring any liability to Bidders.
