Persons included in a GLD Supplier List ("Suppliers") in relation to a PGC may receive notification of invitations to tender from time to time issued by GLD for the supply of goods or services as covered by that PGC as and when opportunities arise ("Notifications"). Suppliers on a GLD Supplier List in relation to a PGC do not have the exclusive right to receive Notification, or any right or expectation that they must receive such Notifications. Suppliers not having received any Notification may still submit tender in response to an open invitation to tender. A Supplier's receipt of a Notification from GLD concerning an invitation to tender for a contract does not imply that the Supplier will be awarded with that contract. Neither a Supplier's inclusion in a GLD Supplier List in relation to a PGC, nor receipt of a Notification, implies that the Government or GLD recognises that the Supplier has the necessary fitness, propriety or capability for entering into the contract with the Government for the supply of the category of goods or services covered by that PGC, or specifically covered by that Notification. The suitability of a Supplier will be assessed on a case-by-case basis according to the terms of the invitation issued by GLD.

A Supplier's responsiveness to invitation to tenders issued for goods or services covered by the PGC of a GLD Supplier List which it has been included will be subject to constant review. To continue staying in the GLD Supplier List(s), it should be necessary that the Supplier will have demonstrated adequate response to GLD’s invitations and the ability to offer competitive tenders. GLD may from time to time review the Supplier's status as a GLD supplier and remove its name from the Supplier List(s) any time without prior notice and without compensation.

Whilst the Government acting through GLD endeavours to ensure the accuracy and reliability of any Notification which may be issued, all Notifications are issued on an "as is" basis without express or implied warranty of any kind. In particular, no warranty regarding accuracy, reliability, non-infringement, completeness, security, timeliness, fitness for a particular purpose or freedom from computer viruses is given in connection with any such Notification. The Government and its employees and agents disclaim all liability for any loss, damage or expense arising from any inaccuracies of, errors in, or omissions from any such Notification. The Government and its employees and agents will not be liable to any person including any Supplier whether in contract or in tort or otherwise for any damages whatsoever, including without limitation any direct, general, special, incidental or consequential damages arising from or in connection with any decision, action or non-action based on or in reliance upon any such Notification or failure to receive any such Notification, or arising from or in connection with a Supplier being removed from the GLD Supplier List(s).

Any Notification or other communication from GLD to Suppliers may be sent by post, by fax or by email.

GLD reserves the right to make further changes to these Terms and Conditions. Such changes will be published on this webpage.

In the event of any inconsistency between the English version and the Chinese version of the Terms and Conditions, the English version shall prevail.
