FINAL THOUGHT Sample Clauses

FINAL THOUGHT. When all is said and done, it is important that people in developing countries have access to essential medicines for effective case management. The international community is called upon not to fail on this one. The US must change its attitude towards the issue and respond to a proven and urgent need. Profits must not be put before the lives of millions of people in developing countries. Patent protection is essential to give an incentive to inventors but how much profit a company gets out of an invention must be subjected to scrutiny so that there is no exploitation.

The Procuring Entity may also seek written clarification from the tenderer on the reason for the high tender price. The Procuring Entity shall proceed as follows: i) If the tender price is abnormally high based on wrong estimated cost of the contract, the Procuring Entity may accept or not accept the tender depending on the Procuring Entity's budget considerations. ii) If specifications, scope of work and/or conditions of contract are contributory to the abnormally high tender prices, the Procuring Entity shall reject all tenders and may retender for the contract based on revised estimates, specifications, scope of work and conditions of contract, as the case may be. 36.6 If the Procuring Entity determines that the Tender Price is abnormally too high because genuine competition between tenderers is compromised (often due to collusion, corruption or other manipulations), the Procuring Entity shall reject all Tenders and shall institute or cause relevant Government Agencies to institute an investigation on the cause of the compromise, before retendering.
