Protechnique registers as its construction contractors, only those companies with superior operations, technical expertise and a track record of quality products and services procured and delivered on time and within costs. Protechnique then will select bidders from the registered companies. At the request of a client who requires work to be executed, Protechnique invites bidders to submit written estimates. We select suitable bidders from our registered contractors once we take into account the size of the project and the scope of the work to be done, among other factors.

Protechnique generally invites several bidders in order to ensure competitive price bidding. However, we may sometimes request a bid from a specific company due to such factors as the special technology and execution method involved in a specific work, the compatibility with facilities in operation, or other special circumstances. After requesting bids, we will explain the particulars of the work planned to be contracted, based on the relevant work specifications.

The selected bidders are requested to submit written estimates within the specified deadline in the prescribed format, with the full name and signature of a contractor. Once a written estimate is submitted, the bidding company cannot replace its pages, cancel any part of it, or make any other modifications to the bid tendered. In making and submitting estimates for the work to be contracted with, the bidders are expected to adhere to Protechnique’s conditions.

Protechnique usually starts price negotiations with the company that submits the lowest bid (total price estimate), if the received estimates are found to be reasonable or appropriate. When we reach an agreement with the supplier on all contractual conditions, we enter into a contract with the selected company. When Protechnique decides on a contractor, the rest of the bidders will not be notified of this fact in particular.

Contracts are drafted in writing to define contracted amounts, specify a construction period, the terms of payment and other particulars. Contractors are expected to adhere to the terms of the contract they sign with Protechnique.

The contractor is required to strictly comply with the contractual time of construction. When the work is completed, Protechnique or the competent governmental authority will conduct the prescribed inspection on the work in accordance with the relevant contractual work specifications, design drawings and so on.

Further, the work may be subject to governmental inspection in compliance with the laws and ordinances. The contractor has to deliver the work on the same day when all inspection checks are successfully passed and the work is confirmed as complete.

When so set forth in the contract specifications, the contractor may be requested to deliver completed parts of the work on a provisional basis, subject to prior successful approval in the inspection mentioned above and even before the contractual date of delivery.

As a general rule, works accepted will be paid for in full at the end of the month following the one in which the constructed work is delivered. However, works extending over long time periods or large-scale works may be paid for on the basis of piecework or work progress, for example, monthly, every two months, etc.

In executing and completing works contracted with Protechnique, the contractors are expected to abide by the legal provisions set forth in the “Construction Industry Law”, “Employment Security Law”, “Labour Standards Law”, “Law of Labour Safety and Hygiene”, and other laws related to the relevant contract works.

Both Protechnique and its suppliers are subject to confidentiality as to classified information that is shared in the process of transactions. Both Protechnique and it’s Contractors suppliers are not to release this classified or other sensitive information to a third person.
