53. Assessing the Price of unpriced Items

53.1 If it is so permitted under ITT Clause 24, any Tenderer offered only eighty percent (80%) the items of a lot as stated under ITT Sub-Clause 24.7; the TEC shall calculate the total lot value by adding up the average prices offered by other responsive Tenderers for the missing items to establish the winning lot Tender.

Factors not included therein shall not be used in the evaluation of the Tenderer’s qualification.
