been awarded similar work for a different electric supply jurisdiction under JBVNL and is currently

against the terminated agency will be determined based on the following parameters:
Such agency will be asked to match the rates offered by the winning bidder (first ranked bidder), as
discovered through the RfP process for this supply area. However, if the agency refuses to accept
the offer at the same rates, JBVNL may make an offer to any other agency, at its discretion.
Priority 2 – Offer to tender participated bidders: If none of the agencies accept the offers
made under priority 1, JBVNL may offer the work to the firm with the second highest combined
score, discovered during the bidding process under this RfP. However, the agency must match the
rates of the winning bidder (first ranked) discovered during this Request for Proposal (RfP)
process, to be awarded the work in that area. The agency must provide their acceptance,
acknowledging the legitimacy of the offer, even if it is made after the bid validity period. If the
second highest bidder does not accept the terms due to any reason, the same shall be offered to the
third ranked bidder. If the third ranked bidder does not accept to provide its services, JBVNL will
scrap the current tender and will go for a re-tender in the area board.
