Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are common grounds for bid rejection?

Grounds include non-compliance with eligibility criteria, technical specifications, or procedural requirements; submission of non-responsive bids; or material defects in bid preparation.

Yes, bidders can challenge rejection before tender-issuing authority and subsequently before administrative forums (CAT) or civil courts. We assess whether grounds for rejection are justified.

Contract variations are typically adjusted if necessitated by unforeseen circumstances, changes in scope, or errors in design. Contractors must seek written approval and document cost basis for additional compensation.

Delays may be contractor-caused (liquidated damages apply), authority-caused (time extension with cost adjustment), or force majeure (time extension without cost adjustment). Classification significantly affects liability.

Many contracts allow termination for convenience by the authority, though contractor is compensated for work completed and demobilization costs. Contract language determines termination compensation.
