BCCI tender notice statement

[Sehwag1830]

The BCCI reserves the right, at its discretion, to cancel or amend the entire bidding process at any stage and to reject any and all bids without providing any reason. :WTF: I doubt any respectable company will do business with this organisation http://www.bcci.tv/bcci/bccitv/index/viewarticle?article=/media/releases/content/4f5de887538a2.html

IMO that's the standard legal wording in all tenders. Generally all the organizations who float a tender reserve the right to select the tender any which way they want. For the govt based organizations the deciding factor in tender is lower cost, but since BCCI is a private body they can do whatever they want.

^^^ So, there is no reason to justify why a tender was rejected ? So a company can't file a case in court if it feels has been wrongly denied.?

Only in case of public sector, and govt based organizations/agencies are the rules laid down and you have a case to file a lawsuit, and even then there are plenty of loopholes and exception clauses to fall back on. Essentially if your tender is not accepted, especially if it's a private organization, you can't do much.

Yes, It's post-tender both parties need to act according to the contract but BCCI can dictate terms in the contract(before signed) as they know their commodity has great value.

Yes' date=' It's post-tender both parties need to act according to the contract but BCCI can dictate terms in the contract(before signed) as they know their commodity has great value.[/quote'] True coz both parties sign a contract when the tender is agreed upon and before that stage nothing much can be done. It's similar to RFI or RFP process and is considered cost of doing business.

These are the words with most (government) tenders. Open the middle pages of the GoI and have a look at their tenders for various infra/construction projects. You'll see and * and in small letters the exact same stipulation that you've mentioned above. They are under no obligation to discuss their selection process/criteria with any of the bidders. As an analogy, if you were to go for an interview and the company don't select you, you can ask them for your short comings but they are under no such obligation to reveal why they didn't choose you.
