Government Tenders and Procurement Law

No proposal may be disqualified on grounds of underpricing unless the proposed price is less than the estimated cost or market price by 25% or more, provided that the proposal review committee, upon reviewing the estimated prices, discusses the issue with the bidder of the underpriced proposal, and sends the bidder a written request to provide more details about the items covered in the proposal, along with an explanation for the low price. If the Committee is not convinced of the bidder’s ability to execute the contract, it may recommend disqualification of the proposal.
