Contractor personnel without such a clearance, confirmed by the appropriate national security authority and transmitted to the cognisant NATO security officer in accordance with the specific instructions contained in this IFB, will be denied access to the site. Denial of such access by the Purchaser may not be used by the Contractor as the basis for a claim of adjustment or an extension of schedule nor can the denial of access be considered a mitigating circumstance in the case of an assessment of Liquidated Damages or a determination of Termination For Default by the Purchaser.”

1.4.3 All NATO CLASSIFIED material entrusted to the Contractor shall be handled and safeguarded in accordance with applicable security regulations.

In such a case, the Bidder who would not sign the Contract shall be liable for forfeiture of the Bid Guarantee.

1.5 The Contract will be made on a Firm Fixed Price Basis to the lowest technically compliant Bid.




1.6 The Bidder shall refer to the Purchaser all queries for a resolution of possible conflicts found in information contained in this document in accordance with the procedures set forth in 2.6 "Requests for IFB Clarifications".

Bids submitted by electronic means (fax, e-mail) are not permitted and will not be considered.

Bids which are delivered to the Purchaser after the specified time and date set forth above for Bid Closing are "late bids" and shall not be considered for award. Such bids will be returned unopened to the Bidder at the Bidder's expense unless the Purchaser can determine that the bid in question meets the criteria for consideration as specified below.

(a) A contract has not already been awarded pursuant to the IFB, and

(b) the bid was sent to the address specified in the IFB by ordinary, registered or certified mail not later than ten (10) calendar days before the bid closing date and the delay was due solely to the national or international postal




system for which the Bidder bears no responsibility (the official postmark for ordinary and Registered Mail or the date of the receipt for Certified Mail will be used to determine the date of mailing), or

(c) the bid was hand carried, or delivered by a private courier service and the Bidder can produce a receipt which demonstrates that the delivery was made to the correct address and received by a member of NCI Agency and the failure to be received by the Contracting Authority was due to mishandling within the Purchaser’s organisation.

2.3.4 A late bid which was hand-carried, or delivered by a private courier service for which a proper receipt cannot be produced cannot be considered for award under any circumstances nor can late bids which bear no post marks or for which documentary evidence of mailing date cannot be produced.

2.3.5 Bidders are advised that security personnel or other personnel remaining on the premises outside of normal business hours may decline to sign or issue receipts for delivered items.

2.4 REQUESTS FOR EXTENSION OF BID CLOSING DATE

2.6.2 All questions and requests for clarification must be submitted in writing by mail, by FAX or by E-mail.

The questions and/or requests shall be forwarded to the point of contact specified in paragraph 2.5 above and shall arrive not later than ten (10) days prior to the stated Bid Closing




Date.The Purchaser is under no obligation to answer questions submitted after this time.

2.6.3 Bidders are advised that subsequent questions and/or requests for clarification included in a bid shall neither be answered nor considered for evaluation and may be grounds for a determination of non-compliance.

2.6.4 Except as provided above, all questions will be answered by the Purchaser and the questions and answers (but not the identity of the questioner) will be issued in writing to all prospective Bidders.

2.6.5 The published answers issued by the Purchaser shall be regarded as the authoritative interpretation of the IFB. Amendment to the language of the IFB included in the answers shall be incorporated by the Bidder in his offer.

2.7 REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND DEVIATIONS

2.7.1 Bidders are informed that requests for alteration to, waivers of, or deviations from the Schedules, the Special Contract Provisions, the terms and conditions in the NATO CI Agency’s Basic Ordering Agreement, the Technical Specifications, the Statement of Work and any other Terms and Conditions of the Prospective Contract will not be considered after the Request for Clarification process.

2.7.2 Requests for alterations to the other requirements, terms or conditions of the Invitation For Bids or the Prospective Contract may only be considered as part of the clarification process set forth in paragraph 2.6 above. Requests for alterations to the specifications, terms and conditions of the Contract which are included in a Bid as submitted may be regarded by the Purchaser as a qualification or condition of the Bid and may be grounds for a determination of non-compliance.

2.8 AMENDMENT OF THE INVITATION FOR BIDS

2.8.1 The Purchaser may revise, amend or correct the terms, conditions and/or specifications and provisions of the IFB documents at any time prior to the date set for the Bid Closing. Any and all modifications will be transmitted to all prospective Bidders by an official amendment designated as such and signed by the Contracting Authority. Such amendment shall be recorded in the Acknowledgement of Receipt which the Bidder shall complete and enclose as part of his bid. This process may be part of the clarification procedures set forth in paragraph 2.6 above or may be an independent action on the part of the Purchaser.

2.8.2 The Purchaser will consider the potential impact of amendments on the ability of prospective Bidders to prepare a proper bid within the allotted time. The Purchaser may extend the "Bid Closing Date" at his discretion and such extension will be set forth in the amendment document.

2.9 MODIFICATION AND WITHDRAWAL OF BIDS

2.9.1 Bids, once submitted, may be modified by Bidders, but only to the extent that the modifications are in writing, conform to the requirements of the IFB, and are received by the Purchaser prior to the exact time and date established for




Bid Closing. Such modifications shall be considered as an integral part of the submitted bid.

2.9.2 Modifications to bids which arrive after the Bid Closing Date will be considered as "Late Modifications" and will be processed in accordance with the procedure set forth above concerning "Late Bids", except that unlike a "Late Bid", the Purchaser will retain the modification until a selection is made. A modification to a bid which is determined to be late will not be considered in the evaluation and selection process. If the Bidder submitting the modification is determined to be the successful Bidder on the basis of the unmodified bid, the modification may then be opened. If the modification makes the terms of the bid more favourable to the Purchaser, the modified bid may be used as the basis of contract award. The Purchaser, however, reserves the right to award a contract to the apparent successful Bidder on the basis of the bid submitted and disregard the late modification.

2.9.3 A Bidder may withdraw his bid at any time prior to Bid Opening without penalty. In order to do so, an authorised agent or employee of the Bidder must provide an original statement of the firm's decision to withdraw the bid and remove the bid from the Purchaser's premises.

2.9.4 Except as provided in paragraph 2.10.4(b) below, a Bidder may withdraw his bid after Bid Opening only by forfeiture of the Bid Guarantee.

2.10 BID VALIDITY

2.10.1 Bidders shall be bound by the term of their bids for a period of 6 months starting from the Bid Closing Date specified at paragraph 2.3.1 above.

2.10.2 In order to comply with this requirement, the Bidder shall complete the Certificate of Bid Validity set forth in Annex A.3. Bids offering less than the period of time referred to above for acceptance by the Purchaser may be determined to be non-compliant.

2.10.3 The Purchaser will endeavour to complete the evaluation and make an award within the period referred to above. However, should that period of time prove insufficient to render an award, the Purchaser reserves the right to request an extension of the period of validity of all bids which remain under consideration for award.

2.10.4 Upon notification by the Purchaser of such a request for a time extension, the Bidders shall have the right to:

(a) accept this extension of time in which case Bidders shall be bound by the terms of their offer for the extended period of time and the Bid Guarantee and Certificate of Bid Validity extended accordingly; or

(b) refuse this extension of time and withdraw the bid, in which case the Purchaser will return to the Bidder his Bid Guarantee in the full amount without penalty.

2.10.5 Bidders shall not have the right to modify their bids due to a Purchaser request for extension of the bid validity unless expressly stated in such request.




2.11 CANCELLATION OF INVITATION FOR BIDS

2.11.1 The Purchaser may cancel, suspend or withdraw for re-issue at a later date this IFB at any time prior to contract award. No legal liability on the part of the Purchaser for payment of any sort shall arise and in no event will any Bidder have cause for action against the Purchaser for the recovery of costs incurred in connection with preparation and submission of a bid in response to this IFB.

2.12 ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION AND DATA

2.12.1 The Purchaser will endeavour to communicate answers to requests for clarification and amendments to this IFB to the prospective Bidders by the fastest means possible, including the use of e-mail where the firms have forwarded the necessary address information.

3.1.3 The Bidder shall not restate the IFB requirements in confirmatory terms only. The Bidder must clearly describe what is being offered and how the Bidder will meet all IFB requirements. Statements in confirmatory terms only will be sufficient grounds for determining the bid to be non-compliant.

3.1.4 Bidders shall prepare their bid in 3 parts in the following quantities:

a) Bid Administration (Part I): 1x Original

b) Price Quotation (Part II): 1x Original with 1x Electronic Copy on CD-ROM (Excel Version)

3.1.5 Documents submitted in accordance with section 3.1.4 above shall be classified no higher than “NATO UNCLASSIFIED” material.

3.1.6 Bidders are advised that the Purchaser reserves the right to incorporate the Bidders Technical Proposal in whole or in part in the resulting contract.

3.2 BID ADMINISTRATION (PART I)

3.2.1 The “Bid Administration” Part shall contain a Bid Guarantee as described in Section 2.13 to these Bidding Instructions. If the Bid Guarantee is sent to the Purchaser directly from the Bidder’s bank, a letter in lieu of the actual Guarantee shall be included in the Bid Administration Package, specifying the details of the transmittal.

3.3 PRICE QUOTATION (PART II)

3.3.1 The Price Proposal shall be prepared and submitted in the form of completed Bidding Sheets at Annex B hereto. The prices entered shall reflect the cost of the total items required to meet the contractual requirements.

3.3.2 Bidders shall quote in their own national currency or in EURO. Bidders may also submit bids in multiple currencies including other NATO member states' currencies under the following conditions:

(a) the currency is of a "participating country" in the project, and

(b) the Bidder can demonstrate, either through sub-contract arrangements or in its proposed work methodology, that it will have equivalent expenses in that currency. All major subcontracts and their approximate anticipated value should be listed on a separate sheet and included with the Price Quotation.

3.3.3 Bidders are informed that the Purchaser, by virtue of his status stipulated in

the provisions of the NCIO Charter, Article 67(e)(3), is exempt from all direct taxes (incl. VAT), and all customs duties on merchandise imported or exported. This provision reads as follows:

"Each participating nation undertakes to grant to NCI Agency under the terms of Articles 9 and 10 of the Ottawa Agreement, exemption from all direct taxes (except rates, taxes and dues which are no more than charges for public utility services) from the taxes on the sale of movable and immovable properties, and from customs and excise duties in respect of equipment imported or exported by NCI Agency or its appointed agents."

3.3.4 Bidders shall therefore exclude from their Price Quotation all taxes, duties and customs charges from which the Purchaser is exempted by international agreement. Bidders are reminded of the requirement to complete the certification to this effect in Annex A-5.

3.3.5 All prices quoted in the proposal shall be DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) to specified destination, in accordance with the International Chamber of Commerce INCOTERMS 2000 and shall also cover all packaging, packing, preservation, insurance and transportation charges. Prices quoted shall include all costs for items supplied and delivered to final destination.

3.3.6 Except as required in the Bidding Instructions, no other documentation besides the Bidding Sheets shall be included in the Price Quotation. Any other document of a contractual or technical nature will not be considered during evaluation and may be cause for a determination of non-compliance by the Purchaser.




3.3.7 When completing the Bidding Sheets the Bidder shall insert information in all yellow cells of the Bidding Sheets. A price for each specified element needs to be supplied on each CLIN. Prices should not be grouped. The prices and quantities entered on the document shall reflect the total items required to meet the contractual requirements. The total price shall be indicated in the appropriate columns and in the currency quoted. If the price of a line item is expressed in different currencies, these shall be identified, and there shall be as many totals on that line item as there are currencies. In preparing the Price Quotation, Bidders shall ensure that the prices of the Sub-items total the price of the major item of which they constitute a part. The accuracy of the inputs of the Priced Proposal Sheets is the responsibility of the Bidder. The Purchaser in its favour may resolve ambiguous computation of prices.

3.3.8 Where an item specified in the requirement is no longer available, Bidders are requested to provide the nearest available equivalent which meets or exceeds the specifications of the item which it replaces. Bidders shall provide technical data on the alternative product and justifying its inclusion.

3.3.9 The Bidder shall furnish firm fixed price quotations, for all proposed items including all options provided for in this IFB with any and all appropriate additions. Partial quotations shall be rejected.

3.3.10 The Bidder understands that there is no obligation under this contract for NCI Agency to exercise any of the optional line items and that NCI Agency bears no liability should it decide not to exercise the options (totally or partially). Further, NCI Agency reserves the right to order another Contractor (or the same), to perform the tasks described in the optional line items of the current contract through a new contract with other conditions.

3.3.11 Prices for items at CLIN 1 and sub clins thereto shall include the cost of one year support and one year warranty as detailed in Part IV. the Satement of Work clause 9.

4. SECTION IV - BID EVALUATION 4.1 GENERAL

4.1.1 The evaluation of bids will be made by the Purchaser solely on the basis of the requirements in this IFB.

4.1.2 The evaluation of bids and the determination as to the compliance or technical adequacy of the supplies and services offered will be based only on that information furnished by the Bidder and contained in his bid. The Purchaser




shall not be responsible for locating or securing any information which is not included in the bid.

4.1.3 To ensure that sufficient information is available, the Bidder shall furnish with his bid all information appropriate to provide a complete description of the work which will be performed and/or the supplies to be delivered. The information provided shall be to a level of detail necessary for the Purchaser to determine exactly what the Bidder proposes to furnish and whether the offer meets the technical, administrative and contractual requirements of this IFB.

4.1.4 During the evaluation, the Purchaser may request clarification of the bid from the Bidder and the Bidder shall provide sufficient detailed information in connection with such requests as to permit the Purchaser to make a final determination based upon the facts. The purpose of such clarifications will be to resolve ambiguities in the bid and to permit the Bidder to state his intentions regarding certain statements contained therein. The Bidder is not permitted any cardinal alteration of the bid regarding technical matters and shall not make any change to its price quotation at any time.

4.1.5 The Bidder’s prompt response to the Purchaser’s clarification requests is important and therefore failure to provide the requested clarifications within the time-limits set forth in the specific Clarification Requests (minimum 24 hours next working day) may cause the Bid to be deemed non-compliant

4.1.6 The Purchaser reserves the right, during the evaluation and selection process, to verify any statements made concerning experience and facilities, by making a physical inspection of the Bidder's facilities and capital assets and by interviewing proposed Key Personnel. Physical inspections and interviews shall also apply to assertions in the proposal made on behalf of proposed Subcontractors. The Bidder shall be responsible for providing access to his own or Subcontractors' facilities and personnel.

4.1.7 The contract resulting from this IFB will be awarded to the Bidder whose offer, as evaluated by the Purchaser, is the lowest priced bid in compliance with the requirements of this IFB. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with NATO Infrastructure Bidding Procedures as set forth in document AC/4-D/2261 (1996 Edition). Evaluation of this IFB will be conducted in accordance with the “One Envelope” procedure in which the Price Proposal of each Bidder is evaluated first, and only the technical proposal of the apparent lowest priced bid is technically evaluated for compliance with the requirements of the Statement of Work. Bidders that are determined to have submitted non-compliant bids will be so notified and will have an opportunity to challenge such a determination in accordance with the Alliance Operations and Missions International Competitive Bidding Procedures (AC/4-D(2007)0003). In such a case the technical proposal of the Bidder who has submitted the apparent second lowest priced bid will be evaluated. The Bidder who has offered the lowest priced, technically compliant bid will then be offered the contract for award.




4.2 ADMINISTRATIVE CRITERIA

4.2.1 Prior to commencement of the Price and Technical evaluation, Bids will be reviewed for compliance with the Bid Submission Requirements of this IFB. These are as follows:

(a) The Bid was received by the Bid Closing Date and Time

(b) The Bid was packed and marked properly

(c) The Administrative Package contained the Bid Guarantee in the proper amount, in the proper form and for the established length of time

(d) The Administrative Package contained all the information required in the originally signed copies of the required Certificates in Annex A hereto.

4.2.2 A Bid that fails to conform to the above requirements may be declared non-compliant and may not be evaluated further by the Purchaser.

4.2.3 If it is discovered, during either the Price or Technical evaluation, that the Bidder has taken exception to the Terms and Conditions of the Prospective Contract, or has qualified and/or otherwise conditioned his offer on a modification or alteration of the Terms and Conditions or the language of the Statement of Work, the Bidder may be determined to have submitted a non-compliant bid.

4.3 PRICE CRITERIA

4.3.1 The Bidder’s Price Quotation will be first assessed for compliance against the following standards:

4.3.1.1 The Price Quotation meets the requirements for preparation and submission of the Price Quotation set forth in the Bid Preparation Section and the Instructions for Preparation of the Bidding Sheets, in particular:

(a) The Bidder has furnished Firm Fixed Prices for all items listed.

(b) All pricing data, i.e., quantities, unit prices, have been provided as reflected in the Bidding Sheets.

(c) Bid prices include all costs for items supplied, delivered, and supported.

(d) All prices have been accurately entered into appropriate columns, and accurately totalled.

(e) The Bidder has provided accurate unit price (where required) and total price for each line item.

(f) The Bidder has provided accurate unit price and total price of each of the sub-items she/he added (if any).

(g) The grand total is accurate.

(h) The currency of all line items has been clearly indicated.




(i) The Bidder has quoted in his own national currency or in the host nation currency, Euros. Where multiple currencies including other NATO member states' currencies are quoted, the conditions of Section III, paragraph 3.3.4 are met.

(j) The Bidder has indicated that in accordance with the treaties governing the terms of business with NATO, he has excluded from his prices all taxes, duties and customs charges from which the Purchaser has been exempted.

(k) Price quotes for each individual item(s), and totalled prices are accurate and realistic (based on historic data, and/or market and competitive trends in the specified industrial sector(s)).

4.3.1.2 Detailed pricing information has been provided and is adequate, accurate, traceable, and complete.

4.3.1.3 The Price Quotation meets requirements for price realism and balance as described below in paragraph 4.3.4.

4.3.2 A bid which fails to meet the compliance standards defined in this section may be declared non-compliant and may not be evaluated further by the Purchaser.

4.3.3 Basis of Price Comparison

4.3.3.1 The Purchaser will convert all prices quoted into EURO for purposes of comparison and computation of price scores. The exchange rate to be utilised by the Purchaser will be the average of the official buying and selling rates of the European Central Bank at close of business on the last working day preceding the Bid Closing Date.

4.3.3.2 The price comparison will be based on the offered Grand Total Firm Fixed Price which includes CLINS 1- 4 in the Bidding Sheets.

4.3.4 Price Realism:

4.3.4.1 Should the Lowest Offered Price appear to be substantially different from the next lowest prices offered, the Purchaser will review the Price Quotation to determine if a reasonable explanation for the differential is apparent.

4.3.4.2 In those cases in which the prices quoted in relation with this Invitation For Bids appear to be unreasonably low in relation to the performance required under the prospective contract and/or the level of effort associated with the tasks, the Purchaser will reserve the right to request the Bidder clarifications aimed to demonstrate the rationale for such circumstances.

4.3.4.3 Indicators of an unrealistically low Bid may be the following, amongst others:

4.3.4.3.1 Labour Costs that, when amortised over the expected or proposed direct labour hours, indicate average labour rates far below those prevailing in the Bidder’s locality for the types of labour proposed.

4.3.4.3.2 Direct Material costs that are considered to be too low for the amounts and types of material proposed, based on prevailing market prices for such material.




4.3.4.3.3 Numerous line item prices for supplies and services that are provided at no cost or at nominal prices.

4.3.4.4 If the Purchaser has reason to suspect that a Bidder has artificially debased its prices in order to secure contract award, the Purchaser will request clarification of the Bid in this regard and the Bidder shall provide explanation on one of the following bases:

4.3.4.4.1 An error was made in the preparation of the price quotation. In such a case, the Bidder must document the nature of the error and show background documentation concerning the preparation of the price quotation that makes a convincing case that a mistake was made by the Bidder. In such a case, the Bidder shall petition the Purchaser to either remain in the competition and accept the Contract at the offered price, or to withdraw from the competition.

4.3.4.4.2 The Bidder has a competitive advantage due to prior experience or industrial/technological processes that demonstrably reduce the costs of Bidder performance and therefore the price offered is realistic. Such an argument must support the technical proposal offered and convincingly and objectively describe the competitive advantage and the net savings achieved by this advantage over standard market practices and technology.

4.3.4.4.3 The Bidder recognises that the submitted price quotation is unrealistically low compared to its cost of performance and, for business reasons, the Bidder is willing to absorb such a loss. Such as statement can only be made by the head of the business unit submitting the Bid and will normally be made at the level of Chief Operating Officer or Chief Executive Officer. In such a case, the Bidder shall estimate the potential loss and show that the financial resources of the Bidder are adequate to withstand such reduction in revenue.

4.3.4.5 If a Bidder fails to submit a comprehensive and compelling response on one of the bases above, the Purchaser may determine the Bid submitted as non-compliant. If the Bidder responds on the basis of paragraph 4.3.4.4.1 above and requests to withdraw from the competition, the Purchaser may, depending on the nature and gravity of the mistake, allow the Bidder to withdraw.

4.3.4.6 If the Purchaser accepts the Bidder’s explanation of mistake in paragraph 4.3.4.4.1 and allows the Bidder to accept the Contract at the offered price, or the Purchaser accepts the Bidder’s explanation pursuant to paragraph 4.3.4.4.3 above, the Bidder shall agree that the supporting pricing data submitted with his Bid will be incorporated by reference in the resultant contract. The Bidder shall agree as a condition of contract signature, that the pricing data will be the basis of determining fair and reasonable pricing for all subsequent negotiations for modifications of or additions to the contract and that no revisions of proposed prices will be made.

4.3.4.7 If the Bidder presents a convincing rationale pursuant to paragraph 4.3.4.4.2 above, no additional action will be warranted. The Purchaser, however, reserves its right to reject such an argument if the rationale is not




compelling or capable of objective analysis. In such a case the Bid may be determined to be non-compliant.

4.3.4.8 The Purchaser reserves the right to request prime Contractors, or the sub-Contractor to separately identify each of the direct/indirect costs, advise why each is required, and provide supporting documentation to substantiate each charge, such as: 1) catalogue price lists and any applicable discounts, 2) copies of the sub-Contractor's orders from others for the same or similar items, including explanations for cost variations, 3) sub-Contractor's internal cost estimate, or documentation of whatever means the sub-Contractor used to arrive at the charge.

4.4 TECHNICAL CRITERIA

4.4.1 Upon determination of the lowest-priced Bid as described above, the Bid shall be evaluated to confirm compliance with the following criteria associated with the respective sections of the Technical Proposal.

4.4.2 The Technical Proposal shall comply with all requirements of this IFB. The Purchaser will evaluate the Bidder’s Technical Proposal for compliance with the requirements stated in Book I, Section 3.4 and Book II, Part IV: Statement of Work (SOW).

Name Position

Technical Lead/Project Manager

25.2. Under the terms of this Clause, Key Personnel may not be voluntarily diverted by the Contractor to perform work outside the Contract unless approved by the Purchaser. In cases where the Contractor has no control over the individual’s non-availability (e.g. resignation, sickness, incapacity, etc.), the Contractor shall notify the Purchaser immediately of a change of Key Personnel and offer a substitute with equivalent qualifications at no additional costs to the Purchaser within 21 days of the date of knowledge of the prospective vacancy.

25.3. The Contractor shall take all reasonable steps to avoid changes to Key Personnel assigned to this project except where changes are unavoidable or are of a temporary nature. Any replacement personnel shall be of a similar grade, standard and experience as the individual to be substituted and must meet the minimum qualifications and required skills cited in the attached Statement of Work.

25.4. In the event of a substitution of any Key Personnel listed above and prior to commencement of performance, the Contractor shall provide a CV for the personnel proposed. The CV shall clearly stipulate full details of professional and educational background, and evidence that the personnel is qualified in pertinent Contract related areas per section 3 of the SOW.

25.5. The Purchaser reserves the right to interview any Contractor personnel proposed in substitution of previously employed Contractor Key Personnel to verify their language skills, experience and qualifications, and to assess technical compliance with the requirements set forth in section 3 of the SOW.

(a) The interview, if evoked, may be conducted as a telephone interview, or will be carried out at NCI AGENCY in Brussels, Belgium.

(b) If, as a result of the evaluation of the CV and/or interview the Purchaser judges that the proposed replacement Key Personnel does not meet the required skills levels, he shall have the right to request the Contractor to offer another qualified individual in lieu thereof.

(c) All costs to the Contractor associated with the interview(s) shall be borne by the Contractor, independently from the outcome of the Purchaser’s evaluation.




25.6. The Purchaser Contracting Authority will confirm any consent given to a substitution in writing through an Amendment to the Contract stating the effective date of change of personnel and only such written consent shall be deemed as valid evidence of Purchaser consent. Each of the replacement personnel will also be required to sign the Non-Disclosure Declaration at Annex A hereto prior to commencement of work.

25.7. Furthermore, even after acceptance of Contractor personnel on the basis of his/her CV and/or interview, the Purchaser reserves the right to reject Contractor personnel, if the individual is not meeting the required level of competence. The Purchaser will inform the Contractor, in writing, in cases where such a decision is taken and the Contractor shall propose and make other personnel available within ten working days after the written notification. The Purchaser shall have no obligation to justify the grounds of its decision and the Purchaser’s acceptance of Contractor personnel shall in no way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility to achieve the contractual and technical requirements of this Contract nor imply any responsibility of the Purchaser.

25.8. The Purchaser may, for just cause, require the Contractor to remove his employee. Notice for removal will be given to the Contractor by the Purchaser in writing and will state the cause justifying the removal. The notice will either demand substitution for the individual involved and/or contain a notice of default and the remedies to be sought by the Purchaser.

25.9. In those cases where, in the judgement of the Purchaser, the inability of the Contractor to provide a suitable replacement in accordance with the terms of this Clause may potentially endanger the progress under the Contract, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the Contract as provided under Clause 19 – “Termination for Default” of the BOA General Provisions.
