An electronically transmitted Bid must be submitted (i.e. encrypted, transmitted, time-stamped and saved on the SEAO servers) before the date and time set for receipt of Bids.

Tender opening procedure
Considering the latest updates to the TBS, the PUBLIC ORGANIZATION is proceeding with a public opening of Bids, so that BIDDERS will be able to attend in person.

Tender guarantee
Letter of Undertaking
Bids must be accompanied by a bid security representing 10% of the total amount of the bid excluding all applicable taxes, in the form of an irrevocable letter of guarantee or a bid bond issued by a financial institution that is an insurer holding a licence issued in accordance with the Insurance Act (R.S.Q., c. A-32) authorizing it to practice surety insurance, a trust company licensed under the Act respecting trust companies and savings companies (R.S.Q., c. S-29-01), a financial services cooperative governed by the Act respecting financial services cooperatives (R.S.Q., c. C-67.3) or a bank within the meaning of the Bank Act (S.C., 1991, c. 46), failing which the bid will be automatically rejected. This bid security will be valid for a period of 45 days from the bid opening date.

The TENDERER must attach to his Tender a letter of undertaking signed by a surety guaranteeing the issue of a performance bond and a bond guaranteeing the CONTRACTOR's obligations for pledges, materials and services in accordance with the requirements set out in Part 4.00 of the Contract.
