Section II: Bidding Forms
The total amount at the Bill of Quantities shall be automatically transferred from the Bill
of Quantities to the Bid Submission Form in the appropriate text box. Bidders should
ensure that the price carried forward to the Bid Submission Form is as per the total from
the Bill of Quantities.
The response templates cater for all the criteria and sub-criteria and also allow
bidders to upload some data as per the table format hereunder.
The information to be filled in the templates shall be used for the purpose of post-
qualification or for verification of prequalification as provided for in ITB Clause 6.

1.3 Proposed subcontracts and firms involved. Refer to General
Conditions of Contract Clause 7.
(b)
[Bidders have to ascertain that sub-contractors executing works are duly registered with
the CIDB in accordance with CIDB Act 2008.
1.1. Objectives
(b) when a Contract has been entered into, to provide a priced Bill of Quantities for use in
the periodic valuation of Works executed.
In order to attain these objectives, Works should be itemized in the Bill of Quantities in sufficient
detail to distinguish between the different classes of Works, or between Works of the same nature
carried out in different locations or in other circumstances which may give rise to different
considerations of cost. Consistent with these requirements, the layout and contents of the Bill of
Quantities should be as simple and brief as possible.
A Dayworks Schedule should be included only if the probability of unforeseen work, outside the
items included in the Bill of Quantities, is high. To facilitate checking by the Public Body of the
realism of rates quoted by the bidders, the Dayworks Schedule should normally comprise the
following:
10
(a) A list of the various classes of labour, materials, and Constructional Plant for which
basic day work rates or prices are to be inserted by the Bidder, together with a
statement of the conditions under which the Contractor shall be paid for work
executed on a day work basis.
(b) Nominal quantities for each item of day work, to be priced by each Bidder at day work
rates as Bid. The rate to be entered by the Bidder against each basic day work item
should include the Contractor’s profit, overheads, supervision, and other charges.
A general provision for physical contingencies (quantity overruns) may be made by including a
provisional sum in the Summary Bill of Quantities. Similarly, a contingency allowance for possible
price increases should be provided as a provisional sum in the Summary priced Bill of Quantities.
The inclusion of such provisional sums often facilitates budgetary approval by avoiding the need
to request periodic supplementary approvals as the future need arises. Where such provisional
sums or contingency allowances are used, the Particular Conditions of Contract should state the
manner in which they shall be used, and under whose authority (usually the Employer’s
Representative).
The estimated cost of specialized work to be carried out, or of special goods to be supplied, by
other contractors (refer to GCC Clause 8) should be indicated in the relevant part of the Bill of
Quantities as a particular provisional sum with an appropriate brief description. A separate
procurement procedure is normally carried out by the Public Body to select such specialized
contractors. To provide an element of competition among the bidders in respect of any facilities,
amenities, attendance, etc., to be provided by the successful Bidder as prime Contractor for the
use and convenience of the specialist contractors, each related provisional sum should be followed
by an item in the Bill of Quantities inviting the Bidder to quote a sum for such amenities, facilities,
attendance, etc.
These Notes for Preparing a Bill of Quantities are intended only as information for the
Public Body or the person drafting the Bidding Documents. They should not be included
in the final Documents.
Bidders shall fill in the response templates provided for the Bill of Quantities as prepared
by the public body in the system.
Bidders may for their convenience download a set of the BOQs in Excel format which is
available in the system as a separate attachment to the Bidding document. However, they
will have to insert the prices against each item manually in the system.

This text hereunder is a guidance for the preparation of the Specifications and Performance
Requirements and should not form part of the final document.
A set of precise and clear Specifications is a prerequisite for bidders to respond realistically and
competitively to the requirements of the Public Body without qualifying or conditioning their bids.
Specifications must be drafted to permit the widest possible competition and, at the same time,
present a clear statement of the required standards of workmanship, materials, and performance of
the goods and services to be procured. Only if this is done shall the objectives of economy,
efficiency, and fairness in procurement be realized, responsiveness of bids be ensured, and the
subsequent task of Bid evaluation facilitated. The Specifications should require that all goods and
materials to be incorporated in the Works be new, unused, of the most recent or current models,
and incorporate all recent improvements in design and materials unless provided otherwise in the
Contract.
Samples of Specifications from previous similar Contracts are useful in preparing Specifications.
Most Specifications are normally written specially by the Public Body to suit the Contract Works in
hand. There is no standard set of Specifications for universal application in all sectors, but there
are established principles and practices, which are reflected in these Documents.
There are considerable advantages in standardizing General Specifications for repetitive Works in
recognized public sectors. The General Specifications should cover all classes of workmanship,
materials, and equipment commonly involved in construction, although not necessarily to be used
in a particular Works Contract. Deletions or addendums should then adapt the General
Specifications to apply them to the particular Works.
Care must be taken in drafting Specifications to ensure that they are not restrictive. In the
Specifications of standards for goods, materials, and workmanship, recognized international
standards should be used as much as possible. Where other particular standards are used, whether
national standards of Mauritius or other standards, the Specifications should state that goods,
materials, and workmanship that meet other authoritative standards, and which ensure
substantially equal or higher quality than the standards mentioned, shall also be acceptable. To
that effect, the following sample clause may be inserted in the Special Conditions or Specifications.
