Under the Conditions of Contract, there is an 'Option to Purchase' which allows the Government to purchase from the existing contractor of APVCS such additional items of Contractor Supplied Hardware and Contractor Supplied Software at the prices specified in Schedule 18 or the prevailing market price (whichever is lower) as and when required by the Government within 48 months from the Contract Date. The existing contractor shall, within 3 months from the Government's written request(s), deliver and provide Ready for Use those items to such locations as may be specified in the written request(s). Clearly, those locations shall include the New Control Point as specification in the tender Ref: PT/0273/2006.
