a. A Tender for a Partnership may be cancelled by the Partnership Committee in the following cases:
1. where a sole bid is submitted, or only one (1) bid remains after disqualifying unacceptable bids;
2. where all or most of the bids contain reservations that contradict with the prescribed terms and specifications, and these bids are difficult to assess technically or financially;
3. where the lowest bid unjustifiably exceeds the initial estimate of the Government Entity; or where, for revenue-generating Contracts, the value of the highest bid is less than that estimate; or
4. where the public interest requires cancelling the Tender.
b. The Tender cancellation decision must be reasoned, and no bidder will be entitled to claim any compensation as a result of the cancellation.
c. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Article, a Partnership Committee may, in special cases where the public interest so requires, accept a sole bid or a bid whose value exceeds, or is below, the estimated value of the Tender.
