Registration will be accomplished by completing the Registration Form available at www.mcg.ge site and sending it in PDF format to the MCG Procurement Agent’s e-mail address: jluneburg@glocoms.com. Registration will be completed when a potential Bidder receives a registration number from the MCG Procurement Agent. Potential bidders may elect on the Registration Form to receive the Bidding Documents and RID (stored electronically on a CD) either (i) in person at the office of the Procurement Agent or (ii) by courier delivery. The cost of such CD and delivery will be borne by MCG.

The exact date of the pre-bid conference will be set forth in the Bidding Documents.

D) Advise potential bidders that they may submit bids for as many lots as they so choose and for which they are qualified, as described in the Bidding Documents. Bidders shall submit separate bids for each lot for which they elect to bid.
