Part II. Price Bid i) Bidders are advised NOT to mention Rebate/Discount separately, either in the SOR format or anywhere else in the Bid. In case Bidder(s) intend to offer any Rebate/Discount, they should include the same in the item rate(s) itself under the “Price Schedule/ Schedule of Rates (SOR)” and indicate the discounted unit rate(s) only. ii) If any unconditional rebate has been offered in the quoted rate the same shall be considered in arriving at evaluated price. However, no cognizance shall be taken for any conditional discount for the purpose of evaluation of the Bid. iii) In case, it is observed that any of the Bidder(s) has/have offered suo-moto Discount/Rebate after opening of unpriced bid but before opening of price bid, such discount /rebate(s) shall not be considered for evaluation. However, in the event of the Bidder emerging as the lowest evaluated Bidder without considering the discount/rebate(s), then such discount/ rebate(s) offered by the Bidder shall be considered for Award and the same will be conclusive and binding on the Bidder. iv) In the event as a result of techno-commercial discussions or pursuant to seeking clarifications / confirmations from Bidder, while evaluating the un-priced part of the Bid, any of the bidders offers upward revised prices; such Bidder(s) will be requested to withdraw the revised prices failing which the bid will not be considered for further evaluation.
