Amendment to Technical Specifications - Payload Capacity Reference is made to the Bidding Documents issued under the above-mentioned Request for Bids. Following an internal review of the bidding documents and clarification requests received from several interested bidders, the Purchaser hereby amends the technical specification relating to the payload capacity as follows: Current requirement: Payload capacity: 1,400-1,500 kg Revised requirement: Waste payload capacity: not less than 950 kg (higher payload capacities are acceptable, provided that all other technical requirements and the maximum legally permitted Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 3.5 tons are complied with) This amendment is made to align the technical specification with the industry standard for converted 3.5-ton temperature-controlled hazardous waste vehicles. A waste payload capacity of not less than 950 kg reflects the typical payload capacity available for this vehicle category, allowing the transportation of approximately one ton of medical waste while maintaining compliance with the maximum legally permitted Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of 3.5 tons. The amendment also aims to ensure technical feasibility, increase market availability, and promote fair and effective competition among qualified manufacturers. 2. Amendment to Bid Submission Deadline In light of clarification requests received from several interested bidders, the Bid Submission Deadline is hereby extended as follows: Current deadline: 17 July 2026 at 14:00 Revised deadline: 24 July 2026 at 14:00 This extension provides bidders with additional time to take the above amendment into account when preparing their bids. 3.
