Bidders must ensure that their financial proposals are comprehensive, reflecting the total value of the services to be rendered. An Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) may be required as part of the submission process, as specified in the tender guidelines. Performance security requirements will be communicated upon the successful awarding of the contract, ensuring that bidders can meet expectations throughout the contract lifecycle.

The evaluation process will be based on total value-wise evaluation, where both technical specifications and financial proposals will be considered.
