INTRODUCTION

The development department in Gmax Holdings Company is responsible for undertaking construction development projects management. The department is seeking responses from Maverick Subcontractors Limited to this Request for Tender (RFT) reference number XNH5678 for the construction of a large residential house.

ACCURACY OF THE REQUEST FOR TENDER

Note that due care has been taken when preparing this RFT. Additionally, the development department makes no warranties or representations that its content or any communicated or provided information to the Tenderer
(Maverick) during the process of tendering is, or will be, accurate, complete or current. If Maverick finds any discrepancy, error, ambiguity or inconsistency in information or the RFT provided by the department, immediate notification must be sent to the department promptly in a written document for the consideration of a corrective action, if necessary. Any actual error in the RFT will be corrected by the department. It also reserves the right to change any information in the RFT before the closing time. Furthermore, its employees, officers and advisors will not be liable for the exercise or failure to exercise this right.

TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL ABILITY

The tenderer (Maverick) should show that they possess technical and professional ability by attaching the credentials (CV) of the personnel who will overview the running of the project to the tender. These abilities include the following: The subcontractor should be qualified to tender for civic or civil projects, thus they should have appropriate financial assets. The tenderer is required to produce a copy of the company registration and a statement confirming the legal entity signed by a practicing solicitor. Additionally, it should show compliance with the building act of 2010 along with building regulations 2011 which regulate building and plumbing (Stevenson & Young, 2013). It also governs the accreditation of the architects, engineers, designers, and building surveyors. The tenderer should note the operators of the economy by relying on the capacity of other entities. Moreover, they must submit with their Tender an undertaking, duly evidenced, from those entities that they will do placement of the necessary resources at the disposal of the Tenderer (Stevenson & Young, 2013).

CONFIDENTIALITY

The department may require Maverick to execute a deed of confidentiality after or before the access of the RFT if they wish to do so. Most of all, the contents of the RFT should be kept confidential.

COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE TENDERING PROCESS

All communications and any questions, clarification or requests relating to the RFT process must be directed to the project manager.
In addition, the department may restrict the period during which there will be acceptance of requests.

COMPLIANCE WITH PROPOSED CONTRACT AND SPECIFICATION

Maverick should submit a tabulated statement showing, in order of the relevant clauses, its compliance level with the specifications provided. Above all it should also show full details of non-compliance if any (Stevenson & Young, 2013). Maverick should note that substantive variations from the requirements will not be viewed favourably, not unless it makes satisfactory demonstration on the necessity of the variation to the department.

ETHICAL PURCHASING SUPPLY

Maverick is required to complete an Ethical Employment Statement. This helps in providing that the state will not enter into a contract, where the policy applies with any Tenderer that cannot satisfy the employment standards. This is in meeting its obligations to its employees under applicable industrial instruments and legislation at the time the construction contract will be awarded and continue to meet such obligations in the term of the
contract.

TAX CLEARANCE

The tenderer should comply with domestic taxation laws and requirements. Above all, Maverick will be required to produce a Tax Clearance certificate whose registration number will be verified online by the department.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS

The department should be informed of any claims made by Maverick concerning the benefits of the construction service and/or the environmental benefits in their sourcing and use.

SUBMISSION OF TENDER

The tenders should be lodged in hardcopy after marking the information appropriately and placed in the address 3456, Tuff Street, Los Angeles on or before 30th October 2014.
A late tender will not be considered and the opportunity will be granted to another tenderer. However, a late tender may be considered if Maverick will clearly show that a system interruption or denial of access to the tender box caused the late lodgment of the documents. Additionally, it can be considered in the case that the tendering process will not be compromised.

EVALUATION OF THE TENDER

The department will evaluate the received tender against the evaluation criteria. On the other hand, Maverick 's tender will not be deemed unsuccessful until such a time when they are notified of that fact by the department. The evaluation criteria will be weighted to reflect the importance of project requirements

SUCCESSFUL TENDER

The approval of Maverick 's tender does not give rise to a contract (implied or express) with the department. Most of all, no legal relationship will exist between the department and Maverick for the execution of the building of the large residential house, until a binding contract is executed by them. The department may decide to go into pre-contractual negotiations with Maverick in its absolute discretion. Maverick is bound by its Tender (Statement of compliance to the Proposed Contract forming part of Maverick 's response) to enter into the contract on the basis of the tender without
negotiation.
