On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am a bit overtaken by events but I wanted to move a further amendment just for cleaning up. This is because up there it states restricted bidding and down it states restricted tendering. I wanted to move a further amendment so that we are on the same page. This is what is in Clause 37 but what is in Clause 44 is correct. So, we must list what is correct as in Clause 44A.

This is essentially to put a timeline to how much time a private party and the contracting authority have to begin a project after the contract is signed. It says within 12 months of the date of execution of the contract, the contractor should have begun, failure to which the contracting authority shall terminate the contract and no liability shall be attached to the contracting authority or the Government. This is because some people come with privately initiated proposals. They are agreed on. A lot of work is done, they sign and then they disappear. This is just to make ...
