21. What is the difference between the ‘Notification of Award’ and an ‘Letter of Award’?

A Notification of Award is issued by the Procuring Entity to a successful Bidder notifying him of the decision of the Tenders Board to award the relevant contract to him and stating the obligatory fees he has to pay prior to the issuance of a substantive letter of Award.

Upon payment of the obligatory fees or communication of the contractor’s decision to have the said fees deducted at source, a Letter of Award is registered with PPA and issued to the Contractor.
