- The maximum time limit is 45 days from the bid opening date to the date of the bid solicitor’s submission of an application for approval of contractor selection results to the investor.
The duration for evaluation via E-HSDT does not include the period of assessment and approval or the period of assessment of results of evaluation of the technical proposal for the procurement carried out according to the single-stage two-envelope bidding procedure.
- The maximum time limit is 25 days from the bid opening date to the date of the bid solicitor’s submission of application for approval of contractor selection results to the investor with respect to the small-scale procurement.
Where necessary, the duration for evaluation via E-HSDT may be extended to no more than 20 days to ensure the project execution progress.
