complete, whether any computational errors have been made, whether
required sureties have been furnished, whether the documents have been
properly signed, and whether the tenders are generally in order.
2.22.2 Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis. If there is a
discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by
multiplying the unit price and quantify, the unit price shall prevail, and the
total price shall be corrected. If the candidate does not accept the correction
of the errors, its tender will be rejected, and its tender security forfeited. If
there is a discrepancy between words and figures the amount in words will
prevail

12
2.22.3 The Procuring entity may waive any minor informality or non-conformity or
irregularity in a tender which does not constitute a material deviation,
provided such waiver does not prejudice or effect the relative ranking of any
tenderer.
2.22.4 Prior to the detailed evaluation, pursuant to paragraph 2.23 the Procuring
entity will determine the substantial responsiveness of each tender to the
tender documents. For purposes of these paragraphs, a substantially
responsive tender is one, which conforms to all the terms and conditions of
the tender documents without material deviations. The Procuring entity’s
determination of a tender’s responsiveness is to be based on the contents of
the tender itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.
2.22.5 If a tender is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the Procuring
entity and may not subsequently be made responsive by the tenderer by
correction of the non conformity.

2.23 Conversion to Single Currency

2.23.1 Where other currencies are used, the procuring entity will convert these
currencies to Kenya Shillings using the selling exchange rate on the date of
tender closing provided by the Central Bank of Kenya.

2.24 Evaluation and Comparison of Tenders

2.24.1 The Procuring entity will evaluate and compare the tenders which have been
determined to be substantially responsive, pursuant to paragraph 2.22
2.24.2 The tender evaluation committee shall evaluate the tender within 30 days of
the validity period from the date of opening the tender.
2.24.3 A tenderer who gives false information in the tender document about its
qualification or who refuses to enter into a contract after notification of
contract award shall be considered for debarment from participating in
future public procurement.
2.25 Preference
2.25.1 Preference where allowed in the evaluation of tenders shall not exceed 15%
2.26 Contacting the Procuring entity
2.26.1 Subject to paragraph 2.21 no tenderer shall contact the Procuring entity on
any matter related to its tender, from the time of the tender opening to the
time the contract is awarded.
2.26.2 Any effort by a tenderer to influence the Procuring entity in its decisions on
tender, evaluation, tender comparison, or contract award may result in the
rejection of the Tenderer’s tender.

2.27 Award of Contract

(a) Post-qualification

13
2.27.1 In the absence of pre-qualification, the Procuring entity will determine to its
satisfaction whether the tenderer that is selected as having submitted the
lowest evaluated responsive tender is qualified to perform the contract
satisfactorily.
2.27.2 The determination will take into account the tenderer financial, technical,
and production capabilities. It will be based upon an examination of the
documentary evidence of the tenderers qualifications submitted by the
tenderer, pursuant to paragraph 2.12.3 as well as such other information as
the Procuring entity deems necessary and appropriate.
2.27.3 An affirmative determination will be a prerequisite for award of the contract
to the tenderer. A negative determination will result in rejection of the
Tenderer’s tender, in which event the Procuring entity will proceed to the
next lowest evaluated tender to make a similar determination of that
Tenderer’s capabilities to perform satisfactorily.

(b) Award Criteria

2.27.4 The Procuring entity will award the contract to the successful tenderer(s)
whose tender has been determined to be substantially responsive and has
been determined to be the lowest evaluated tender, provided further that the
tenderer is determined to be qualified to perform the contract satisfactorily.

(c) Procuring entity’s Right to Vary quantities

2.27.5 The Procuring entity reserves the right at the time of contract award to
increase or decrease the quantity of goods originally specified in the
Schedule of requirements without any change in unit price or other terms

2.27.6 The Procuring entity reserves the right to accept or reject any tender, and to
annul the tendering process and reject all tenders at any time prior to
contract award, without thereby incurring any liability to the affected
tenderer or tenderers or any obligation to inform the affected tenderer or
tenderers of the grounds for the Procuring entity’s action

2.28 Notification of Award

2.28.1 Prior to the expiration of the period of tender validity, the Procuring entity
will notify the successful tenderer in writing that its tender has been
accepted.
2.28.2 The notification of award will constitute the formation of the Contract but
will have to wait until the contract is finally signed by both parties

14
2.28.3 Upon the successful Tenderer’s furnishing of the performance security
pursuant to paragraph 2.28, the Procuring entity will promptly notify each
unsuccessful Tenderer and will discharge its tender security, pursuant to
paragraph 2.14

2.29 Signing of Contract

Security Form provided in the tender documents, or in another form
acceptable to the Procuring entity.
2.30.2 Failure of the successful tenderer to comply with the requirements of
paragraph 2.27 or paragraph 2.28 shall constitute sufficient grounds for the
annulment of the award and forfeiture of the tender security, in which event
the Procuring entity may make the award to the next lowest evaluated
Candidate or call for new tenders.
2.31 Corrupt or Fraudulent Practices
2.31.1 The Procuring entity requires that tenderers observe the highest standard of
ethics during the procurement process and execution of contracts when used
in the present regulations, the following terms are defined as follows;
(i) “corrupt practice” means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting
of any thing of value to influence the action of a public official in the
procurement process or in contract execution; and
(ii) “fraudulent practice” means a misrepresentation of facts in order to
influence a procurement process or the execution of a contract to the
detriment of the Procuring entity, and includes collusive practice
among tenderer (prior to or after tender submission) designed to
establish tender prices at artificial non-competitive levels and to
deprive the Procuring entity of the benefits of free and open
competition;

15
2.31.2 The procuring entity will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the
tenderer recommended for award has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent
practices in competing for the contract in question.
2.31.3 Further a tenderer who is found to have indulged in corrupt or fraudulent
practices risks being debarred from participating in public procurement in
Kenya.
