The calculation of the penalties be

revised in light of the value of the

DELAYED COMONENT/DELIVERABLE

instead of calculating on the entire

urchase Order Value.

The Maximum cap of the penalties to be

pegged at 10% of the value of the

delayed component.

Bidder submits that it shall be allowed to

submit modifications to the terms and

conditions which may be discussed at the

time of final contracting with the selected

Bidder

The Calculations on the

penalties have been on

the total O value while

the delay will occur at the

micro component level.

Hence imposing a penalty

calculated at the entire

O value will be very

onerous when a small
