Information Government Tender (Vendor, Contracts) Policy

[Development Ministry]

Bidding on Government Tender Contracts
The Ministry of Development may, from time to time, solicit contracts through official "Requests for Tenders" (RFT) announcements.
Pursuant to relevant Acts of Parliament (REALTOR ACT), the government must pay for the labor or products of public pastes, which includes all government buildings, and permanent structures. Funding for Tenders will be sought from Parliament and from MOD income on property sales.

Example RFT Format:
001 RFT - Parliament Building
Estimated Value: 12,500 pounds
Materials list: Bone_block 10000

002 RFT - Parliament Building
Estimated Value: 3,500 pounds
Materials list: White_Stained_Glass 6500

BIDDING:
Tender Contractors should provide the following information when submitting a bid,

Name/Company
Cost of Bid completion:
Estimated timeline for delivery
Notes + Optional: (company resources/inventory, how many will be employed for this contract, Screen shot proof of playtime, proof of inventory/means of contract completion)


MOD Contract Bid Assessment Process:
Vendors bidding for the Tender Contract shall submit their Bid on the Marketplace Channel on Discord, and must demonstrate not only the economic benefits of their contract, but also a demonstrated ability to supply the RFT. MOD shall consider the following factors in issuing a Tender Contract:

1. Does the Bidder value the contract above/below the MOD estimated value of the tender? Cheaper bids are preferred.
2. Does the Bidder meet the minimum playtime requirements (optional) to complete the contract?
3. Does the Bidder have the resources and means to complete this tender bid adequately? Has the Bidder demonstrated such in their bid?

(where there is a conflict of interest, the MOD affiliate must disclose the conflict and recuse themselves from the decision process)


Process for Calculating Structure's build content:
1. A MOD Employee may take a schematic of the structure (or copy with world edit), either in the creative world or in the main world, and certify the tender item lists.
2. The tender item lists must strive to encompass 100% of materials used, with due regard for the rarity of the blocks used and their commonality.
3. For blocks that have multiple varieties, MOD is authorized to consolidate their like types (ex, quartz stairs, quartz pillars, chiseled quartz = all quartz types). Blocks that require further "value-added" treatment, such as furnace treatment or added dyes, may not be consolidated. MOD can also accept precursor items such as 1/4 logs instead of planks, or nine iron ingots instead of iron blocks, and make necessary combinations to simplify the tender list.
4, for any blocks which make up less than 5% of the build's total blocks, and are not unique/valuable blocks (not diamonds, gold, iron, netherite, beacon, etc.), MOD is authorized to round up from an existing common block to substitute.
