Final Report<br />

The Bidder shall bear all risks associated with movements in interest rates <strong>and</strong> exchange<br />

rates over the period up to the expiration <strong>of</strong> the original Proposal validity period. In the<br />

event that PPC asks the Bidder to extend the period <strong>of</strong> validity <strong>for</strong> a specified period, the<br />

Bidder may extend the bid validity as requested by PPC without any change in the<br />

proposal.<br />

acceptance <strong>for</strong> a period <strong>of</strong> six (6) months following Bid Closing. During this period the<br />

Proposal <strong>of</strong>fering less than the stipulated Proposal validity period will be rejected.<br />
