Entry and Mid Level Desktop Computers

The eligibility requirements include being a registered entity, demonstrating prior experience in supplying computing hardware, and possessing valid certifications as required under local regulations. It’s important for bidders to prepare and submit documentation proving their compliance with these eligibility criteria to ensure their bids are considered.

The technical specifications for the desktop computers include a minimum processor of Intel i5 or equivalent, 8GB of RAM, and a storage solution (HDD/SSD). Additionally, the computers should have a pre-installed operating system and essential connectivity features like USB and HDMI ports. Suppliers must ensure that all units meet these specifications to qualify under the tender requirements.

Payment terms typically require bidders to outline their financial proposals, which must be clear and inclusive of taxes and delivery costs. Additionally, a performance security may be mandated to ensure commitment to contract terms—this is typically a percentage of the total bid value to safeguard the interests of the issuing authority.

Bids must be submitted electronically via the designated e-procurement platform, ensuring that all documentation is uploaded correctly to avoid disqualification. Specific timelines for submission will be outlined in the tender notice, and bidders are encouraged to adhere strictly to these deadlines for successful participation.

The tender promotes the involvement of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSEs) and start-up entities, providing them the opportunity to participate through special provisions designed to facilitate inclusive procurement policies. These benefits may include reduced submission requirements or relaxed criteria to enable broader engagement in government contracts.
