ECDC requires Pricing Schedule and corresponding Offer and Acceptance for a period of three (3) years. Note that the Amount on the Form of Offer must be the same as the amount on the Pricing Schedule.

If Service Provider has not provided price for all three years in the Pricing Schedule and Form of Offer, the Service Provider’s bid will not be considered for evaluation.

ECDC understands that the Short Term insurance policy is renewed annually as it is based on the claims history of the preceding year; however for evaluation purposes for the period of three years, the Service Provider is to assume that the claims history remains the same for all three years and is required to price for all three years.

The three year price based on the above assumption is a guideline for bid price evaluation purposes only.

Claims History for the previous three years is attached as Annexure M.

SIGNATURE OF BIDDER DATE

1 Bid rigging (or collusive bidding) occurs when businesses, that would otherwise be expected to compete, secretly conspire to raise prices or lower

the quality of goods and / or services for purchasers who wish to acquire goods and / or services through a bidding process. Bid rigging is, therefore, an agreement between competitors not to compete.
