1.2 Instructions to Enhanced Pre-Qualification Tenderers

Majid Al-Futtaim Properties Egypt is inviting you to participate in the tender for the
construction of Almaza City Centre in Cairo. This tender is divided into two phases.

Phase 1: (Enhanced Pre-Qualification Process)

This phase is a continuation of the prequalification process which has started by the
Employer already. This phase will be based on the Schematic design set of documents. The
purpose of this phase is to enable the Phase 1 Tenderers to have a thorough understanding
of the design and the components of the project.

This phase will be focused on the assessment of the technical capability of the Phase 1
Tenderers. The Phase 1 Tenderer will submit a comprehensive technical proposal in
compliance with Phase 1 requirements and programme. The Phase 1 Tenderer will submit
also a Value Engineering proposal to maximize the value of the design and reduce the cost.

The evaluation of the Phase 1 submission will be entirely based on the technical assessment
including the comprehensiveness of the Value Engineering items. The Employer will use the
outcome of the Phase 1 evaluation to reduce the number of Phase 1 Tenderers to 4.

Phase 2: (The tender)

Based on the outcome of Phase 1, the successful Phase 1 Tenderers will be invited to
submit their best technical and financial tender in accordance with the tender documents.

The Phase 2 tender will be based on the final set of Detailed Design documents; whereas it
may be expected that changes and alterations will get introduced to the schematic set of
documents subject of Phase 1 tender.
