D. SUBMISSION OF BIDS
16. Submission of Bids:

Registration of Bidders on eProcurement Portal:
All the bidders intending to participate in the tenders processed online are required to get registered
(which is free of cost) on the centralized e-procurement portal https://tripuratenders.gov.in. For
online enrolment for eProcurement as a bidder, the bidder has to go to tender home page, click on
“Online Bidder Enrollment” link and just fill up the registration form online. On successful
submission, the registered login ID can be used to login. Then login again and map the Digital
Signature Certificate (DSC) with bidder’s account, which complete the online enrolment process. Please
visit the portal for more details.
Obtaining a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC):
The Bids submitted online should be encrypted and signed electronically with a DSC to establish
the identity of the bidder bidding online. These DSC are issued by an Approved Certifying
Authority, by the Controller of Certifying Authorities, Government of India.
The bidders may obtain Class 3 DSC from any Certifying Authority or Sub- certifying Authority
authorized by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA).
Bid for a particular tender must be submitted online using the DSC (Signing & Encryption). In
case, during the process of a particular tender, if the user loses his DSC (due to virus attack,
hardware problem, operating system or any other problem), he/she will not be able to submit the bid
online. Hence, the users are advised to keep a backup of the certificate and also keep the copies at
safe place under proper security (for its use in case of emergencies).
In case of online tendering, if the DSC, issued to the authorized user of a firm, is used for signing
and submitting a bid, it will be considered equivalent to a no objection certificate/power of attorney
/lawful authorization to that User. The firm has to authorize a specific individual through an
authorization certificate signed by all partners to use the DSC as per Indian Information
Technology Act, 2000. Unless the certificates are revoked, it will be assumed to represent adequate
authority of the user to bid on behalf of the firm in the department tenders as per Information
Technology Act, 2000. The DSC of this authorized user will be binding on the firm.
In case of any change in the authorization, it shall be the responsibility of management /
partners of the firm to inform the certifying authority about the change and to obtain the digital
signatures of the new person / user on behalf of the firm / company. The procedure for application
of a digital certificate however will remain the same for the new user.
The same procedure holds true for the authorized users in a private/Public limited company. In
this case, the authorization certificate will have to be signed by the directors of the company.

For Percentage Rate Tender, the bidder shall quote his “Excess (+) / Less (-)”overall bid
percentage (in figures only and limited to a maximum of 2 decimal places) in Macro enabled MS Excel
BOQ sheet with which he intends to execute the work. Thus, the total amount (for overall quoted bid
percentage) as computed through Macro Enabled MS Excel BOQ Sheet would be the quoted offered
amount for the work, which will be shown in figures & words automatically. In case rates are
quoted to more than 2 decimal places then, the amount quoted towards the tender shall be
worked out for the rates quoted to first 2 decimal points without rounding off. The “Percentage”
quoted by the Bidder shall be applicable uniformly to all the rates of the items indicated in BOQ
Sheet.
"Excess (+)" or "Less (-)” can be selected from the dropdown menu by clickingon the cell.
If any bidder wants to quote At Par i.e. 0.00%, the bidder may select "Excess (+)" or "Less (-)” from
the dropdown menu by clicking on the cell and then he can enter 0.00% in quoted percentage cell.
Then the total amount as computed through Macro Enabled MS Excel BOQ Sheet would be the
quoted offered amount for the work which will be equal to total amount of cost put to tender i.e. At
Par.
For Item Rate Tender, the bidder shall quote his rate for each item (in figures only and limited
to a maximum of 2 decimal places) in Macro enabled MS Excel BOQ sheet, which he intends to
execute the work. BOQ (in MS-Excel format) sheet shall be open with Macro Enabled for automatic
conversion from figures to words. Thus, the total amount (for all the quoted items) as computed
through MS-Excel Sheet would be the quoted offered amount for the work, which will be shown in
figures & words automatically. In case rates for each item are quoted to more than 2 decimal
places then, the 2 decimal point will be taken as it is or adding 1 point in 2 decimals depending
upon whether thenumber in 3 decimals is “upto 5 numeral” or “5 or higher numeral” respectively.
Only “Bidder’s Name” and “Excess (+)/ Less (-) Percentage (for percentage rate tender)” or “Rate
for each item (for item rate tender)” are to be filled by the bidder in the designated "Sky Blue
Cells".
If a Bidder quotes nil rates against each item in item rate tender or does not quote any
percentage above/ below /at par on the total amount of the tender or any section/ sub head in
percentage rate tender, the tender shall be treated as invalid and will not be considered as lowest
tenderer.

are given below:
21.5.1 The technical bid submitted by the bidder, is in the prescribed format & satisfying the
eligibility & other criteria as per guidelines & conditions given anywhere in the tender/bid
documents.
Non-Responsive Bid:
Tenders that do not meet the basic requirements specified in the bid documents are to be
treated as non-responsive and ignored. Some importantpoints on the basis of which a technical bid
may be declared as Non-Responsive are given below:
The technical bid submitted by the bidder, is not in the prescribed format, or is not having the
required documents as mentioned in Para. No. 2 of S.I.T.B.as qualification criteria, or is unsigned or
not signed as per the stipulationsin the bid document;
If any alteration is made by the Bidder in the submitted bid documents, the conditions of the
contract, the drawings, specifications or statements / formats or quantities.
The required Bid Fee & Earnest Money has not been provided;
The bidder is not eligible to participate in the bid as per laid down eligibilitycriteria (example: the
tender enquiry condition says that the bidder has to be an enlisted contractor but the tenderer is not
an enlisted contractor);
The tenderer has quoted for goods manufactured by a different firm without the required
authority letter from the proposed manufacturer;
The bid departs from the essential requirements specified in the bidding document (for
example, the tenderer has not agreed to give the required performance guarantee); or
Against a schedule in the list of requirements in the tender enquiry, the tenderer has not quoted
for the entire requirement as specified in that schedule (example: in a schedule, it has been
stipulated that the tenderer will supply the equipment, install and commission it and also train the
purchaser’s operators for operating the equipment. The tenderer has, however, quoted only for
supply of the equipment).
22. Financial Bid Opening:
Only the Financial Bids of qualified bidders, whose technical bids are found responsive, will be
opened online by the authorized Bid openers [minimum 2(two) in numbers out of 4(four) bid
opener (as assigned at time of online tender creation)] on behalf of the concerned Deputy
Executive Officer at the time, date and venue as specified in the bid documents. The result will be
seen in the e-procurement portal https://tripuratenders.gov.in by all the bidders who

and the signatures of the Bidderspresent are taken in the minutes.
The Financial Bid of the Bidders, whose technical bids has been found Non- Responsive, will
not be opened and ignored.
Bids shall be scrutinized in accordance with the conditions stipulated in the Bid document. In case of
any discrepancy of non-adherence Conditions the Tender Accepting Authority shall communicate the
same which will be binding on both the bid Opening authority and the Bidder. In case of any ambiguity,
the decision taken by the Tender Accepting Authority on bids shall be final.
23. Evaluation of Financial Bid and Comparison of Financial Bids:
After opening of financial bid, the “Tender Inviting Authority (TIA)” will examine/evaluate the
financial bids (on the basis of guidelines & conditions given anywhere in the tender/bid documents)
submitted by each bidder by making detailed “Comparative Statement (CS)”. Based on financial bid
documents & CS as submitted by TIA, the “Tender Evaluation Committee (TEC)” will decide the
reasonableness of quoted percentage/item rates and the Bid Rank of the bidder such as lowest
rate quoted bidder (L1), 2nd lowest rate quoted bidder (L2), 3rd lowest rate quoted bidder (L3) etc.
based on online quoted amount ofbidder in BOQ sheet.
TEC has to make formal recommendation for Award of Contract to the bidder whose bid has been
determined to be responsive and the lowest (L1) evaluated bid. These recommendations are
submitted for approval to the “Tender Accepting Authority (TAA)”. TAA shall approve and
accept the tender in accordance with the latest Delegation of Financial Power Rules, Tripura
(DFPRT) in force.
However, the TAA detects any error in the evaluation of financial Bids done by TEC, the TAA
while returning the bids may direct the TEC as the case may be,to re-evaluate the bids.
24. Discrepancy in Quoted Bid Percentage/Item Rate:
Bids shall be scrutinized in accordance with the conditions stipulated in the Bid document. For
Percentage Rate Tender, the bidder shall quote his “Excess (+) / Less (-)” overall bid percentage (in
figures only) in Macro enabled MS Excel BOQ sheet. Thus, the total amount (for overall quoted bid
percentage) as computed through Macro Enabled MS Excel BOQ Sheet would be the Quoted Amount
for the work, which will be shown in figures & words automatically. For Item Rate Tender, bidder
shall quote rate for each item in figures only. BOQ (in MS-Excel format) sheet shall be open with
Macro Enabled for automatic conversion from figures to words. Thus, the total amount (for all the
quoted items) as computed through MS-Excel Sheet would be the Quoted Amount for the work,
which will be shown in figures & words automatically.
The quoted percentage/item rate and automatically calculated quoted total amount through
Macro Enabled MS Excel BOQ Sheet can be verified by the bidder before uploading the BOQ in the portal
using digital signing. Generally, in online e-tender, chances of discrepancy in quoted bid
percentage/item rates are NIL. In case of any ambiguity, the decision taken by the Tender Accepting
Authorityon Bidders shall be final.
25. Non-conformities between Figures and words:
Generally, this situation normally does not arise in case of online e-tender. Sometimes, non-
conformities/errors are also observed in responsive tenders between the quoted prices in figures
and in words. This should be taken care ofin the manner indicated below:
If, in the price structure quoted for the required goods, there is discrepancy between the unit
price and total price (which is obtained by multiplying the unit price by the quantity), the unit price
shall prevail and the total price correctedaccordingly;
If there is an error in a total corresponding to the addition or subtraction of sub-totals, the sub-
totals shall prevail and the total shall be corrected; and
If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words shallprevail;
Such a discrepancy in an offer should be conveyed to the tenderer asking him to respond by a target
date and if the tenderer does not agree to Procuring Entity’s observation, the tender is liable to be
rejected.
26. Financial Bid Evaluation Result:

The ‘BOQ Comparative Chart’ generated online & displayed by the system through the e-
procurement portal, after the opening of Financial Bid, will show the amount calculated based on
percentage/item rate quoted by the bidders. The bidder shown as lowest (L1) in the bid rank of
the ‘BOQ Summary Details’, may not be the lowest always. TIA will prepare a “Comparative
Statement (CS)” considering all parameters as per conditions given in the bid document. TEC will
decide the bid rank in the CS. This CS, declaring lowest bidder (L1) and “Minutes of Meeting” [of
Financial Bid Evaluation by the “Tender Evaluation Committee”] will be displayed in the e-
procurement portal subsequently.
Details of Tender Evaluation Committee (i.e. chairperson & members) & the “Minutes of
Meeting” [of financial bid evaluation by the “Tender Evaluation Committee”] shall be uploaded in
the e-procurement portal https://tripuratenders.gov.in and all the bidders can access the same.
It is advisable that TIA, while completing the online process of Financial Evaluation, should
select the “Status” from the list as “Accept” in “Bid List” section for all bidder. This process gives
wider choice to TIA for selecting lowest accepted rate quoted bidder (L1 bidder) in “Award of
Contract (AOC)”stage in case L1/L2 bidder withdraws his bid before finishing the online AOC.
27. Selection of Bidder among the Lowest & Equally Quoted Bidders:
Selection of Bidder among the lowest & equally quoted Bidders will be done in the following
process:
The Bidder whose Bid Capacity is Higher will be selected.
In case the bid capacity is also same, the Bidder whose Annual Turnover is Higher will be
selected.
Even if the criteria incidentally become the same, the higher turnover on similar works and
thereafter more machinery available for the work and then the clean track record including
litigation aspects will be considered for selection.
Note: Above method can be applied for Two Bid System of tendering with the support of available
online submitted documents. But for Single Bid Tender, the supporting documents which are not
available with the “Tender Evaluation Committee” for calculation/representation of Bid Capacity,
Annual Turnover / machinery available for the work, track record regarding litigation aspects etc.,
shall be asked to the bidder by TIA to submit within a fixed time through official letter.
28. Process to be Confidential:
Information relating to the examination, clarification, evaluation and comparison of bids and
recommendations for the award of a contract shall notbe disclosed to Bidders or any other persons not
officially concerned with such process until the award to the successful Bidder has been announced
by the Tender Accepting Authority (TAA). Any effort by a Bidder to influence the processing of Bids
or award decisions may result in the rejection of his Bid.
No Bidder shall contact the TAA or any authority concerned with finalization of bids on any
matter relating to its Bid from the time of the Bid opening to the time the Contract is awarded. If the
Bidder wishes to bring additional information to the notice of the TAA, it should do so in writing.
Before recommending / accepting the bid, the Tender Evaluation Committee (TEC) /Tender
Accepting Authority (TAA) shall verify the correctness of certificates submitted to meet the eligibility
criteria and specifically experience. The authenticated agreements of previous works executed by the
lowest Bidder may be called for.
29. Discrepancies between original and additional/scanned/uploaded copies of aTender:
Discrepancies can be observed in responsive tenders between the original copy [if asked to submit by
Tender Inviting Authority (TIA) for document verification purpose] and
additional/scanned/uploaded copies of the same tender. In sucha case, the text, and so on, of the
original copy will prevail. Such a discrepancy in an offer should be conveyed to the tenderer asking
him to respond by a target date and if the tenderer does not agree to TIA’s observation, the tender is
liable to be rejected. In e-Procurement there could be discrepancies between the uploaded scanned
copies and the Originals submitted by the bidder. However normally no submission of original
payment documents in physical format, should be asked for in e-Procurement with online
payment facility.
30. Minor Infirmity/Irregularity/Non-conformity:
During the preliminary examination, some minor infirmity and/or irregularity and/or non-
conformity may also be found in some tenders. Such minor issues could be a missing pages/
attachment or illegibility in a submitted document; non-submission of requisite number of copies
of a document. There have been also cases where the bidder submitted the amendment Bank
Guarantee, but omitted to submit the main portion of Bid Document.
The court ruled that this is a minor irregularity. Such minor issues may be waived provided they do not
constitute any material deviation and financial impact and, also, do not prejudice or affect the
ranking order of the tenderers. Wherever necessary, observations on such ‘minor’ issues (as
mentioned above) may be conveyed to the bidder by the Tender Inviting Authority (TIA) through
registered letter/ speed post, and so on, asking him to respond by a within 10(ten) days from the
date of issue of the letter, also mentioning therein that, if the bidder does not conform TIA’s view or
respond by that specified date, his/her tender will be liable to be rejected. Depending on the outcome,
such tenders are to be ignored or considered further.
31. Clarification of Bids/ Shortfall Documents:
During evaluation and comparison of bids, the Tender Inviting Authority (TIA) may, at his
discretion, ask the bidder for clarifications on the bid. The request for clarification letter shall be
given in writing by registered/ speed post by theTender Inviting Authority (TIA), asking the bidder
to respond within 10(ten) days from the date of issue of the letter, and also mentioning therein that,
if the bidder does not comply or respond by the date, his/her tender will be liable to be rejected.
Depending on the outcome, such tenders are to be ignored or Considered further. No change
in prices or substance of the bid including specifications, shall be sought, offered or permitted.
No post-bid clarification at the initiative of the bidder shall be entertained. The shortfall
information/ documents should be sought only in case of historicaldocuments which pre-existed
at the time of the tender opening and which have not undergone change since then. These should
be called only on basis of the recommendations of the “Tender Evaluation Committee”. (Example: if
the Permanent Account Number, GSTN number has been asked to be submitted and the tenderer has
not provided them, these documents may be asked for with a target date as above).
So far as the submission of documents is concerned with regard to qualification criteria, after
submission of the tender, only related shortfall documents should be asked for and considered. (For
example, if the bidder has submitted a contract without its completion/ performance certificate, the
certificate can be asked for and considered.) However, no new contract should be asked for so as to
qualify the bidder.
F. AWARD OF CONTRACT

work decrease/s, there shall be a downward adjustment of the cost of work so that such price of
materials and/or wages of labour shall be deductible from the cost of work under this contract
