7.3
Opening of Bids
7.3.1 After the deadline of bid submission, the CSAS will validate the bids
received and filter out unqualified bid(s) which involve(s) -
(a)
a candidate who does not meet the essential requirements
stipulated in the service request;
(b)
higher individual rate(s) for the same candidate proposed by
more than one T-contractor for the same service request;
(c)
a candidate who is participating in another second-tier bidding
or interview process;
(d)

within two months’ time counting from the deadline for bid
submission;

within two months’ time counting from the deadline for bid
submission, applying for a T-contract position with the same job
assignment in the same B/D through a different T-contractor;
(f)
a former T-contract staff, with the deadline for bid submission
falling within two months counting from the service end date of
his former contract, applying for a T-contract position with the
same job assignment in the same B/D as his former contract
through a different T-contractor;
(g)
a serving T-contract staff who has tendered resignation, with the
deadline for bid submission falling within (i) the three months’
period counting from the effective date of his resignation, or (ii)

(j)
a candidate who has failed to report for duty for a contract (say
Contract A), with the deadline for bid submission falling within
(i) three months counting from the planned start date of Contract
A, or (ii) the period between the planned start date and the
original end date of Contract A, whichever is shorter; and
(k)
a former T-contract staff, with the deadline of bid submission
falling within the six months’ period counting from the date
when his former contract was terminated due to poor
performance.
7.3.2 After the bids are opened, only candidates fulfilling the essential
requirements stipulated in the service request and validated as qualified
bids according to Section 7.3.1 above will be shortlisted. The CSAS
administrative user should generate a list from the CSAS showing all
shortlisted candidates in ascending order of the individual service rates
(i.e. the order of priority adopted by the CSAS). For the sake of
fairness, the essential requirements stipulated in the service request
cannot be changed after the deadline of bid submission.
7.3.3 If B/D considers it necessary to cancel the second-tier bidding process
before the deadline of bid submission (e.g. due to change of service
requirements) or after the opening of bids (e.g. due to inadequate number
of qualified bids for further processing), the approval of the supervisor
of the requesting officer (as defined in Section 6.5 above) must be sought
and the full justifications for the cancellation must be recorded properly.
Once the second-tier bidding process is cancelled, a notification e-mail
will be sent to each T-contractor for information by the CSAS.
7.3.4 Unless otherwise specified, Section 7.3.1 above is applicable during
periods of extension of this Contract/transitions between Contracts
preceding or succeeding this Contract, if any.
