The method and conditions of payment to be made to the supplier under this contract shall be specified in the Special Conditions of Contract (SCC). Payments shall be made promptly by the purchaser, but in no case later than thirty 30 days after submission of an invoice or claim by the supplier.

The supplier warrants that the goods supplied under the contract are new, unused, of the most recent or current models and that they incorporate all recent improvements in design and materials unless provided otherwise in the contract. The supplier further warrants that all goods supplied under this contract shall have no defect, arising from design, materials, or workmanship except when the design and/or material is required by the purchaser's specifications or from any act or omission of the supplier, that may develop under normal use of the supplied goods in the conditions prevailing in the country of final destination. This warranty shall remain valid for twelve 12 months after the goods, or any portion thereof as the case may be, have been delivered to and accepted at the final destination indicated in the contract, or for eighteen 18 months after the date of shipment from the port or place of loading in the source country, whichever period concludes earlier, unless specified otherwise in SCC.

The bid shall be evaluated in two phases: mandatory requirements and administrative compliance. The accreditation shall be allocated based on bidders having complied with the mandatory and administrative bid requirements. The department reserves the right to accredit the bid to one or more service providers, wholly or in part or not to award.

Mandatory requirements for accreditation include a valid company registration document, valid proof of registration with a recognized professional body (HPCSA) as an ophthalmologist, valid proof of registration with a recognized professional body (HPCSA) as an anaesthetist or medical officer with a diploma in anaesthesiology (DA), CVs detailing experience in the specialty with a minimum of three years post-registration, and proof of active medical malpractice cover for specialists and anaesthetists or medical officers with a diploma in anaesthesia.

Subject to GCC clause 25, if the supplier fails to deliver any or all of the goods or to perform the services within the periods specified in the contract, the purchaser shall, without prejudice to its other remedies under the contract, deduct from the contract price, as a penalty, a sum calculated on the delivered price of the delayed goods or unperformed services using the current prime interest rate calculated for each day of the delay until actual delivery or performance. The purchaser may also consider termination of the contract pursuant to GCC clause 23.
