What are the terms
for planning the delivery date and for completion of delivery?
The delivery date is set to be within a certain
number of days from the
date of coming into force of the Supply Contract. The coming into
force of the contract is not a set calendar day in the Tender
Document because it comes only after the accomplishment of specific
obligations by the parties as per article 6 of the Supply Contract.
For the same reason the delivery date is not set yet in the Tender
Document but it shall be proposed by the Tenderer and accepted by
the Contracting Authority which will perform its duties according to
such agreed date. By planning the Delivery date, the Tenderers shall
pay attention to the fact that the time for delivery is one of the
elements taken into account in the scoring system.
Upon delivery (Delivery Ex Quay or Delivery Duty
Unpaid) the Surveillance and Control Company, Viglienzone Adriatica S.p.A.,
shall inspect the downloaded cargo in order to assess its
conformity to the bill of lading and to the cargo previously loaded in Italy.
The verification procedures by the Viglienzone Adriatica S.p.A. reaches
an end by issuing a Certificate of Conformity at Final Destination
to be normally released after positive acceptance of the Consignee.
However the Viglienzone Adriatica S.p.A., elapsed 2 weeks from the
delivery date without acceptance by the Consignee, shall
issue its Certificate on the sole basis of the positive survey results.
In this way the completion of the delivery process, according
to the Contract Supply, shall take place within 60 days from the date
of entering into force of the Supply Contract.

What
kind of training service, to be provided by the contractor, is
expected by the Contracting Authority?
In order to allow the consignee to monitoring the
delivery before the shipment, and to have a first basic training on
the commodities to be exported to Egypt, the contractor shall
organize, at his own cost included in the offer, a Preliminary Visit
and Training in Italy according to the Special
conditions.
After delivery of the commodities, and after
installation in case of commodities to be installed, the contractor
shall organize, at his own cost included in the offer, two-week
training course in Egypt according to the Special
conditions, in order to transfer to the beneficiary/consignee the
know-how about utilization and maintenance of the commodities
exported. The training course shall be organized in Egypt, in the
location indicated by the Consignee and it shall have the length of
at least 14 consecutive days, included the weekly rest. For this
purpose, 6 hours of training course per day, on a 5-day basis
working week, is considered reasonably acceptable. Thus, the
supplier is expected to provide at least 60-hour training course, in
favour of the consignee, which cannot be affected by any other
course previously performed in Italy. Sub-contracting, or providing
in outsourcing, the training course, although within the rules and
regulations of the Tender, will not exonerate the supplier from its
obligations. The organization of the training is to be agreed with
the consignee and organized at the own costs of the supplier, which
will keep proper administrative records of the subjects, the
participants, the timing and the location, by using a log book,
which copy shall be officially delivered to the Contracting
Authority upon conclusion of the training course.
