List of agreements that amended the Tendering Code since october 29, 1996
It should be noted that, for interpretation purposes, the French text shall prevail over the English, the latter being a translation of the French original.
E-4 CONFIRMATION OF ELECTRONIC FILING
The filing of tenders, as well as the date and time of the filing, are confirmed electronically to the tenderer in accordance with the procedure established by the BSDQ for the use of the TES.
E-5 SELECTIVE LIST
The project owner may give the BSDQ written authorization:
- to accept only those tenders from contractors invited to tender;
- to make tenders available only to pre-selected recipient contractors.
The BSDQ is then required to comply with the instructions received. In this case, only invited tenderers and selected recipient contractors are authorized, for a given project, to file a tender or take possession of it, according to the procedure established by the BSDQ for the use of the TES.
E-6 RETRIEVAL OF THE TENDER
A tenderer may, at any time prior to the closing time for the filing of tenders at the BSDQ, retrieve their tender in accordance with the procedure established by the BSDQ for the use of the TES.
This retrieval shall be confirmed electronically and shall, for the purposes of this Code, completely cancel the filing of their tender.
E-7 REJECTION OF TENDER SUBMITTED AFTER THE DEADLINE
No tender may be filed for the project in question after the deadline for filing tenders to the BSDQ. If the deadline expires and the tenderer has not completed the tender, it will be automatically rejected by the TES upon filing. The rejection of a tender, as well as the date and time of such rejection, shall be confirmed to the tenderer electronically, in accordance with the procedure established by the BSDQ for the use of the TES.
E-8 POSTPONEMENT OF THE CLOSING DATE AND TIME
The BSDQ may agree with the project owner to postpone the closing date and time for the filing of tenders at the BSDQ. If necessary, it itself shall set these terms and conditions based on the new date and time set by the project owner for the filing of tenders by the concerned recipient contractors. The BSDQ must be notified of any postponement in sufficient time to allow it to modify the information relating to the project in question, in accordance with the procedure established for the use of the TES.
In the event of a postponement, a tenderer who has filed a tender may retrieve it, in accordance with Section E-6 of this Code.
The tenderer who has retrieved their tender, as well as any other tenderer, may file a tender within the time limit determined by the new closing date and time for the filing of tenders.
A tender may not be retrieved by a tenderer and the closing time for the filing of tenders at the BSDQ may not be delayed if the postponement of the closing time for the filing of tenders by the recipient contractors occurs, or if the BSDQ is notified of it, after the tenders filed at the BSDQ have been made available.
