Key qualifications include SAM registration at the time of offer submission, established business operations in Sierra Leone, proof of necessary licenses and permits, past performance references, and completion of cybersecurity supply chain risk management questionnaires. The Government intends to award a firm fixed-price contract to the lowest-priced, responsible offeror based on initial quotations, though discussions may occur with offerors in the competitive range if necessary.

Pricing should be quoted in Sierra Leone Leones with Goods and Service Tax exempted, and circuit downtime credits apply when availability falls below 99.7% annually.
