Although price is a major consideration, meeting the exact tender specifications calls for other important attributes such as a good track record, experience and stability.

Response: This issue is not RFP specific and is more on the line of a tender technical specification question. A rough guideline at this time would be 60A 24 v (nominal). This is subject to change prior to completion of exact tender proposals.

Given the sort of sophisticated technologies involved in ATP financing — steel mills. copper refineries, aircraft, power plants and hydro-electric schemes — the firms seeking subsidies tend to know more about comparative costs than do the civil servants allocating the funds. But even they cannot know the exact tender price of their foreign competitors. The whole point about competitive bidding is that it is secret. So firms try to obtain the largest possible subsidy. The government of the developing country, however, still ends up by going into debt to pay for firms which pull off the big ATP-subsidised deals — such as GEC, the Davy Corporation and Balfour Beatty — tend to be large and well-connected.
