Two stage tendering, like an auction, involves successive tendering phases, but the Model Law does not give any guidance on how article 33 applies to two stage tendering.

(Those provisions are incorporated by cross reference to chapter III of the Model Law in articles 46 (1) (two stage tendering) and 47 (3) (restricted tendering), and similar provisions are implied in article 48 (6) (request for proposals).

Consequently, as tendering is the general procurement method for goods and construction, the provisions enable an electronic reverse auction procedure that follows the pattern of the standard tendering method, adapted to provide for an electronic reverse auction.

(4) Paragraphs 4 (a) and (b) allow for either open tendering principles to be adopted (that is, all qualified suppliers can participate), or limited tendering, such that only those bidders that have the best ranked bids are invited to participate.

The Working Group may also wish to make an equivalent provision in two stage tendering.

(b) The establishment, in advance, of conditions for participation, including selection and award criteria and tendering rules, and their publication

(f) Article 30 (2) (requiring entities to extend the tendering deadline when it makes changes to its requirements)

In tendering procedures, articles 33 (2) and (3) also provide for the opening of tenders in the presence of participants, and the provision of information to suppliers on the identity and price of other tenders, to enable suppliers to monitor the application of the rules, but only once the tendering phase is complete.

As to its location, the Working Group may consider that the draft article should be presented as part of chapter II ( Methods of procurement and their conditions for use ) and, as a form of tendering, after the current article 19 ( Conditions for use of two stage tendering, requests for proposals or competitive negotiation ).

insert guidance regarding ranking of initial tenders see paragraph 23 above and guidance on use of open and restricted tendering see paragraph 24 above .

Some tendering services even divide types of business very finely in their own way, by CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes.

The conduct of the auction itself would under the draft text below be governed by the principles and objectives of the rules governing tendering.

The investigation was initiated in 1997 and concluded that the offending companies agreed to distribute customers amongst themselves while also participating in collusive tendering (bid rigging).

Secondly, they can enhance the efficient allocation of resources (reducing the time required to conduct a procurement, and reducing the administrative costs of the traditional open tendering procedure).

In that case, the original proposal shall be considered as withdrawn and the revised proposal shall be treated as a new proposal.

We are dealing with the Chair's proposal and not with a United States proposal or any proposal from any delegation or group of delegations.

Proposal

We heard today a response from the United States delegation to the NAM proposal, and now we are hearing a proposal from the United States that seems to me to be a new proposal, not the Chair's proposal.

PROPOSAL PRODUCERS

A proposal is considered an amendment to another proposal if it merely adds to, deletes from or revises part of that proposal.

Here's my proposal.

DRAFT Internal Proposal

The proposal reads

First, our proposal is equitable and fair.

While trade deals have often come at the expense of stronger domestic climate action, the EU s new trade agreement with Singapore aims to boost trade and investment in clean energy technologies and promote green public tendering.

Mr. Mekel (Israel) requested clarification of the proposal by the representative of Lebanon and, in particular, the reasons for the proposal.

If the proposal to make an amendment is rejected that proposal loses its legal meaning and effect, and along with it, that Parties' notifications that formed the basis for the proposal lose their legal meaning and effect as well.

He declined my proposal.

She rejected my proposal.

I accept his proposal.

Proposal by the President

(1) The electronic reverse auction is to be conducted as a tendering procedure, and accordingly the provisions of chapter III of the Model Law apply unless they are inconsistent with the nature of an auction procedure.

The Office for Metropolitan Architecture won the contract from the Beijing International Tendering Co. to construct the CCTV Headquarters and the Television Cultural Center by its side on 1 January 2002, after winning an international design competition.

We can also say that there was an emerging consensus on my proposal at least on my proposal on the item on nuclear weapons before the NAM proposal arose.
