Tender Details and Scope

The tender specifies that the required supplies are clearly divided into two distinct lots, allowing for specialized bidding and delivery. Lot 1 is specifically designated to encompass laptop machines, addressing the technological needs of the Direction des Titres Fonciers et du Cadastre National. Lot 2, conversely, is exclusively dedicated to archive filing material, key for the systematic organization and preservation of records. All required supplies, once a contract is awarded, must be delivered within a maximum period of 30 calendar days. This delivery timeframe is calculated precisely from the date of receipt of the signed contract, ensuring prompt acquisition of the necessary materials.

The Direction des Titres Fonciers et du Cadastre National will serve as the designated and sole place for both the measurement and final delivery of all procured materials. This centralized approach simplifies logistics and oversight. Bidders are explicitly instructed to submit their offers directly to the Direction des Titres Fonciers et du Cadastre National, which is conveniently located at Quartier INSS, 2ème Palais de la Justice.

Eligibility and Bid Requirements

Participation in this Open National Tender is broad, extending to all natural and legal persons who are capable of satisfying the stipulated legal, technical, and financial conditions outlined in the tender documents. This inclusive approach encourages wide participation from qualified entities. Conversely, strict exclusion criteria are in place: bidders subject to the incapacity rules explicitly outlined in Article 161 of the Public Procurement Code are unequivocally excluded from participating. This regulatory measure prevents entities with a history of non-compliance or legal impediments from engaging in public procurement. Any bidder who has previously defaulted on a contract with the Direction des Titres Fonciers et du Cadastre National will also be barred from participation, reinforcing accountability and ensuring reliable partnerships.

Offers submitted for the tender will remain valid and binding for a substantial period of 90 days. This validity period is calculated from the final deadline for bid submission, providing ample time for evaluation and decision-making by the procuring entity. To further ensure the seriousness and commitment of the offers, a bid security is mandatorily required for each lot. For Lot 1, which specifically covers laptop machines, the bid security is set at 1,000,000 FBU. For Lot 2, pertaining to archive filing material, the required bid security is 500,000 FBU. These security deposits are designed to protect the Direction des Titres Fonciers et du Cadastre National from frivolous bids and to ensure that selected bidders honor their commitments. It has also been explicitly specified that no preference margin will be granted to eligible bidders during the full evaluation process, guaranteeing a level playing field for all participants.
