6.4. Composition of Bidders

Since the bidders to the RFP stage are shortlisted based on their qualification submitted in the RFQ, any change in the composition of the bidders at the RFP stage is left to the sole discretion of the public entity and should always subject to following conditions:

• Lead member continues to be the lead member of a consortium

• The substitute is equal in terms of technical and financial capacity

• The modified consortium continues to meet pre-qualification and short listing criteria for applicants

• Application for change in composition is submitted no later than 15 days prior to the bid due date

• The modified consortium shall submit a revised Joint Bidding Agreement

• The new member(s) reconfirm the application already made on their behalf as if it were party to it originally
