Examination of Tenders and Determination of Responsiveness. Prior to the detailed evaluation of Tenders, the Employer shall determine whether each Tender: • meets the requirements of these Conditions of Tender; • has been properly signed; • is responsive to the requirements of the procurement documents; • provides any clarification and/or substantiation that the Employer may require; • complies with the Tender submission requirements in all other respects. A responsive Tender is one that conforms to all the terms, conditions and Specifications of the Contract without material deviation or qualification. A material deviation or qualification is one which, in the Employer’s opinion: • could detrimentally affect the scope, quality, or performance of the Works; • changes the Employer’s or the Contractor’s risks and responsibilities under the Contract; or • would affect the competitive position of other Tenderers presenting responsive Tenders, if it were to be rectified. If the Tender does not meet the requirements or is not responsive, it will be rejected by the Employer, and may not subsequently be made acceptable to the Employer by correction or withdrawal of the non- conforming deviation or reservation.
