How strictly is the tender time allowed observed?
Very strictly. The tender times allowed are definitive and have to be observed most severely in order to avoid complications. For giving an example: If the 20th Dec 1999 is the deadline, an offer arriving the 21st Dec 1999 will not be taken anymore into consideration. Please pay also attention that the tender time allowed is the day the offer has to be with the authority of awards and not the postmark date. Therefore do consider the time for mailing. As tenders are considered confidential the authorities of awards, in principle, do not accept tenders via fax.
