Page 22 of 37
33.3Prior to the detailed evaluation, the DISCOM will determine whether each bid is of
acceptable quality, is complete and is substantially responsive to the Bidding Documents.
Any deviations, conditionality or reservation introduced will be reviewed to conduct a
determination of the substantial responsiveness of the bidder‟s bid. For purposes of this
determination, a substantially responsive bid is one that conforms to all the terms, conditions
and specifications of the Bidding Documents without any material deviations, objections,
conditionalities or reservations and complies with all the statutory laws in force as amended
from time to time. A material deviation, objection, conditionality or reservation is one (i) that
affects in any substantial way the scope, quality or performance of the Contract; (ii) that
limits in any substantial way, inconsistent with the Bidding Documents, the DISCOM‟s
rights or the successful Bidder‟s obligations under the Contract; or (iii) whose rectification
would unfairly affect the competitive position of other bidders who are presenting
substantially responsive bids.

of its bid. In case of erroneous/non-submission of documents required to be submitted by the
Bidder as per the provisions of the Bidding Documents, the DISCOM may give the Bidder
not more than 7 working days‟ notice to rectify/furnish such documents, failing which the
bid shall be rejected.
The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing, and no change in the price
or substance of the bid shall be sought, offered or permitted.
33.6If a bid is not substantially responsive, it will be rejected by the DISCOM, and may not
subsequently be made responsive by the Bidder by correction of the nonconformity. The
DISCOM‟s determination of a bid‟s responsiveness shall be based on the contents of the bid
itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.
33.7The DISCOM will ascertain to its satisfaction whether Bidders determined having submitted
substantially responsive bids are qualified, as per the Qualification Requirement mentioned
in the bid documents. The DISCOM shall be the sole judge in this regard and the DISCOM‟s
interpretation of the Qualification Requirement shall be final and binding.
33.8The determination will take into account the Bidder‟s financial, technical capabilities, in
particular the Bidder‟s Contract work in hand, future commitments and past performance
during execution of contracts that have been awarded by the DISCOM on the Bidder. It will
be based upon an examination of the documentary evidence of the Bidder‟s qualifications
submitted by the Bidder, as well as such other information as the DISCOM deems necessary
and appropriate. This shall, however, be subject to assessment that may be carried out, if
required, by the DISCOM.
33.9The DISCOM may waive any minor informality, nonconformity or irregularity in a bid that
does not constitute a material deviation, affecting the capability of the Bidder to perform the
Contract.
33.10 An affirmative determination will be a prerequisite for the DISCOM to evaluate the
Techno - Commercial Part and to intimate successful bidders to be present on new date, time
Page 23 of 37
& location to open the online price schedule of the Bidder. A negative determination will
result in rejection of the Bidder‟s bid.
33.11 The bid from those bidders shall not be accepted who failed to submit Performance
Security on issue of Letter of Award (LoA) for any other Contract of DISCOM in past 3
years.
33.12 To assist in the analysis, evaluation and computation of the bids, the DISCOM may ask
bidders individually for clarification of their submitted bids. The request for clarification and
the response shall be in writing but no change (whatsoever) in the price or substance of the
bid offered shall be permitted.

the qualification requirement), financial bid shall be opened.
