Wax Sealed definition
Wax Sealed means sealing with wax the envelope or envelopes containing the bid document and imprinting the impression of the personal seal of the tenderer onto the surface of the sealing wax so as the guard against access to the bid document inside the envelope after bid envelope is closed by the tenderer. Common articles of everyone’s use like coins etc., shall not be used in place of seal for wax sealing. Alternatively the envelope shall be sealed securely with packing PVC tape at the discretion and risk of the tenderer. The packing PVC tape should be of standard quality of firm fix sealing not admitting access for manipulation to the envelope or to its content without leaving visible mark of such manipulation on the envelope. The Tender Opening Authority shall have powers to refuse to open any tender which has not been securely sealed with wax or PVC packing tape as described herein.
