It was also advisable to continue to check the clarifications section throughout the tender process. The Contracting Authority only accepted documents for tenders or quotations placed on the e-Tendering portal to be received electronically unless explicitly stated otherwise in the bidder's instructions. Tenders submitted via the e-Tendering portal were to be received in full prior to the closing time for receipt of tenders. Bidders were advised that uploading of large electronic files may take some time and as such bidders must allow sufficient time to fully transmit all files prior to the closing time for receipt of tenders. The server clock displayed within the e-Tendering governed the time for close of tender returns. (MT Ref:225750)",
