The document outlines the bid opening process. A bid opening committee appointed by the Procurement Committee ensures the clock is correct, bids received on time are in the tender box, and proceedings are recorded. The bid opening takes place at the specified location and time. Withdrawals and modifications are opened first, followed by original bids. The bid opening committee reads aloud details of each bid like the bidder's name, presence of security, price, discounts. Envelopes are resealed before handing to the Procurement Entity.
