4. Proposals are to remain valid and open for acceptance by HOAM for the Offer Validity Period.
5. Each Vendor should satisfy itself as to the interpretation of the RFP. If there is any perceived ambiguity or uncertainty in the RFP document/s Vendors should seek clarification before the Deadline for Questions.

7. If HOAM considers a request to
be of sufficient importance to all Vendors it may provide details of the
question and answer to other Vendors. In doing so HOAM may summarise the Vendor’s
question and will not disclose the Vendor’s identity. The question and answer
may be posted (updated on the system) and/or emailed to participating Vendors.
8. In submitting a request for clarification a Vendor is to indicate, in its request, any information that is commercially sensitive. HOAM will not publish such commercially sensitive information. However, HOAM may modify a request to eliminate such commercially sensitive information, and publish this and the answer where HOAM considers it of general significance to all Vendors.
9. Each Vendor is responsible for ensuring that its Proposal is received by HOAM on or before the Deadline for Proposals.
10. HOAM intends to rely on the Vendor’s
Proposal and all information provided by the Vendor (e.g. correspondence and
negotiations). In submitting a Proposal and communicating with HOAM each Vendor
should check that all information it provides to HOAM is:

and not misleading in any material respect

19. HOAM will base its initial evaluation on the Proposals submitted in response to the RFP. HOAM may adjust its evaluation of a Proposal following consideration of any clarification or additional information.
20. In deciding which Vendor/s to

Proposal and the following additional information:

the Requirements, capability to fully deliver the Requirements and willingness
to meet the terms and conditions of the Proposed Contract
b. except where the price is the only criterion, the best value-for-money over the whole of-life of the goods or services.
21. In deciding which Vendor/s, to
shortlist HOAM may take into account any of the following additional
information:

form part of the weighted criteria)
c. any matter that materially
impacts on HOAM’s trust and confidence in the Vendor
d. any other relevant information that HOAM may have in its possession.
22. HOAM will advise Vendors if they have been shortlisted or not. Being shortlisted does not constitute acceptance by HOAM of the Vendor’s Proposal, or imply or create any obligation on HOAM to enter into negotiations with, or award a Contract for delivery of the Requirements to any shortlisted Vendor/s. At this stage in the RFP process HOAM will not make public the names of the shortlisted Vendors.
23. HOAM may invite a Vendor to enter into negotiations with a view to contract. Where the outcome is unsatisfactory HOAM may discontinue negotiations with a Vendor and may then initiate negotiations with another Vendor.

Contact at any time. This notification may be posted on the system.

6. Each Vendor must accept and adhere to the Conflict of Interest declaration in the Response Form and must immediately inform HOAM should a Conflict of Interest arise during the RFP process.

10. Vendors must not engage in collusive, deceptive or improper conduct in the preparation of their Proposals or other submissions or in any discussions or negotiations with HOAM. Such behaviour will result in the Vendor being disqualified from participating further in the RFP process. In submitting a Proposal the Vendor warrants that its Proposal has not been prepared in collusion with a Competitor.
11. HOAM reserves the right, at its discretion, to report suspected collusive or anticompetitive conduct by Vendors to the appropriate authority and to give that authority all relevant information including a Vendor’s Proposal.

14. Vendors acknowledge that by law, HOAM will not be in breach of its obligations if Confidential Information is disclosed by HOAM to the appropriate authority because of suspected collusive or anticompetitive tendering behaviour. Where HOAM receives a request that relates to a Vendor’s Confidential Information HOAM will consult with the Vendor and may ask the Vendor to explain why the information is considered by the Vendor to be confidential or commercially sensitive.
15. For the duration of the RFP, to the date of the announcement of the Successful Vendor, or the end of the RFP process, the Vendor agrees to keep the RFP strictly confidential and not make any public statement to any third party in relation to any aspect of the RFP, the RFP process or the award of any Contract without HOAM’s prior written consent.
16. A Vendor may disclose RFP information to any person but only for the purpose of participating in the RFP.
