Standard Tender Documents Procurement of Goods and Related Services User Guide

Standard Tender Documents Procurement of Goods and Related Services User Guide January 2011 ab0cd User Guide and Summary Description PREFACE These Standard Tender Documents and User’s Guide have been prepared by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for the procurement of goods and related services through open tendering in compliance with the EBRD Procurement Policies and Rules for projects that are financed in whole or in part by the EBRD. These Standard Tender Documents are derived from the Master Document for Procurement of Goods prepared by the Multilateral Development Banks and International Financing Institutions. The procedures and practices which are presented in them reflect the “best practices” by these institutions. Clients or their procurement consultants should complete these documents by entering data specific to the procurement in question in the relevant sections; in some cases, this necessitates a selection from different alternatives presented in the documents. These alternatives are illustrative and not necessarily comprehensive. Other customised provisions may be required in certain cases. The following guidelines should be observed: (a) Specific details such as the “name of the Purchaser” or “address for tender submission” should be entered where indicated. (b) Notes in bold italics found inside a bold square or between square brackets [ ] represent instructions, which the drafter of the tender document should follow. These instructions should be deleted and not included in the final document. (c) When submitting Standard Tender Documents to the Bank for review clients should state whether these Documents have been used prior to the review. If so, the client should: i confirm that the Instructions to Tenderers and the General Conditions of Contract have been used without change; ii highlight any proposed changes to the following:  Letter of Tender  Form of Tender Security  Manufacturer’s Authorisation  Letter of Acceptance  Contract Agreement  Performance Security  Bank Guarantee for Advanced Payment; Guidance Notes on using these documents, which can be found at the beginning of each Volume, are only for the use of the drafter and must not be included in the tender documents that are to be issued to potential tenderers.

The Invitation for Tenders must be published no earlier than 45 calendar days after the publication of the General Procurement Notice on the Bank’s website (www.ebrd.com) as well as the Purchaser’s own procurement website and official government procurement portal in the Purchaser’s country. When possible the Invitation for Tenders shall also be published in a newspaper with wide circulation in the Purchaser’s country and official gazettes or international trade publications as appropriate. The notice should also be sent to potential suppliers that have responded to the General Procurement Notice and to local representatives of potential foreign supplier’s e.g. commercial attachés of the embassies accredited in the Purchaser’s country. Purchasers should maintain a register of all potential tenderers, who have purchased the tender documents, and make it available to interested parties. Although the Invitation for Tenders does not form part of the tender documents, it shall be submitted to the Bank as part thereof for review and no objection. The information in the Invitation for Tenders must be consistent with and reflect the information provided by the tender documents. Apart from the essential items listed in the Standard Tender Documents the Invitation for Tenders should also indicate any important tender evaluation criteria and/or qualification requirements. An example of this would include a requirement for a minimum level of experience in execution of works of the nature and complexity that are similar to the works for which the Invitation for Tenders is issued.
