Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Tenders specifications for construction work
English term or phrase: placing qualifications on their proposals
XXX will:
- Carry out a full technical and financial evaluation of all submissions
- Normalize quantities and unit prices to ensure that all financial proposals are compared on a consistent basis,
- Ensure that the bid guarantee submitted with the proposal conforms with the requirements of the bidding document and is issued by an approved financial institution,
- Ensure that the tenders are substantially responsive to the requirements of the terms of reference,
- Obtain clarification from Tenderers regarding inconsistencies in their proposals and/or ****any statements that may be understood as placing qualifications on their proposals****,
- Review the internal consistency of the rates and prices with the construction methods and schedules for the tender that has been determined as being the lowest evaluated substantially responsive, and
- Prepare the tender evaluation report.

This is for a study by a consulting firm. In this chapter, they explain how they would handle the tender process. I have no clue what they are trying to say with this. I would guess they mean "clarifying qualifications for the job" but the first part of the sentence seems to address a problem with the bid... Any guess?

Désolée, j'ai écrit tout ça en anglais !
