Regarding cases being considered for abnormally low or high tenders, the benchmark should be the Procuring Entity's estimate in the Procurement Plan or other estimate based on commercial rates. It is expected that a Procuring Entity should call for Tenders with a clear idea of what to expect as a reasonable tender price. Incase of abnormally low or high tenders, the Procurement Entity should (a) review the specifications, and conditions of tender, or correctness of the estimate or (b) possibility of a collusion, formation of cartels, or other form of fraudulent and corrupt activity in the tendering process or (c) perception of the firms on the credibility of the ProcuringEntity. The Procuring Entity shall treat abnormally low and high tenders in accordance with procedures provided for in this tender document. 4.
