Previously, Trieu Xuan Thinh Consulting and Construction Investment Joint Stock Company (Trieu Xuan Thinh Company) was assigned to BMT and announced the invitation to bid for Package No 08 of Kien Luong District Social Insurance Headquarters Construction Project. For Package No. 08 under the Project of Ha Tien Town Social Insurance, it is assigned to Truong Thinh Construction Investment Consultancy Co., Ltd to be BMT.

Immediately after the Contractors response to the request for clarification of bid dossier, Trieu Xuan Thinh Company had a written request for Hanoi TV and Construction Joint Stock Company to explain. BMTs official opinion is revealing a lot of problems in selecting contractors for two packages of Kien Giang Social Insurance.
BMT has asked the Consultant to prepare bidding documents to answer the question: Based on which to amend the regulations stated in the Form of Bidding Document on contractor guidance? BMT said, Circular 03/2015 / TT-BKHÐT stipulated: "Do not modify the provisions stated in the Form of bidding documents on contractor instructions and general conditions of the contract; For other contents, it may be modified to suit the scale and nature of the bidding package ”. In addition, BMT said that this amendment caused limitations for contractors, specifically requiring the construction permit for fire protection works / items.

Besides, the time limit for contractors to clarify unreasonably (from 17 - 18/12/2018).
This BMT has also sent a document to the meeting of bidder and investor to have an appropriate explanation. |
