SECTION V-TENDER PROCEDURE

240. The Head of Department concerned will then take steps to complete the contract by causing the security deposit, if any, to be paid into the Treasury, and the contract agreement form, with conditions, to be signed by the contractor, after which the tender deposit will be refunded. The Head of Department will sign for Government unless he has been authorized by the Deputy Financial Secretary to delegate this duty to a subordinate officer. The security deposit, if any, will not be refunded until the contract has been satisfactorily completed.

241. Copies of the contract will be supplied to the Accountant General and Director of Audit. In addition the completed contract, consisting of the contract agreement form and the original tender will be passed to the Treasury through the Audit Department for examination. The original of the contract agreement will eventually be retained by the Accountant General for safekeeping.

242. All communications between departments regarding tenders, from the time tenders are called for until the award of the contract has been approved, are confidential.
