What We Do

What Happens After the Bid Wins

A goods contract moves through delivery, inspection and acceptance, then into the warranty and after-sales period. The delivery period, delivery point, inspection procedure and warranty terms are all fixed in the bidding document and contract.

DNB coordinates realistic delivery planning, including imported goods, customs clearance and delivery to the required locations across Nepal, and works with the inspection, acceptance and warranty documentation sides of the supply.

  • Delivery period and delivery locations are contractual commitments
  • Goods are inspected for quantity, condition and specification on receipt
  • Warranty terms define repair, replacement and service obligations
  • After-sales support covers servicing, spare parts and response times

Our role: We support the supply side of procurement : product identification, manufacturer coordination, documentation and delivery. We are not a legal, financial or general procurement consultancy.

From Delivery to Warranty and After-Sales

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions, Answered

The delivery period is the time within which the supplier must deliver the goods after contract award or order, as stated in the bidding document. Delays may attract liquidated damages under the contract.

Delivered goods are checked against the delivery order for quantity, condition and packaging, then verified against the technical specification. Results are recorded in inspection and goods acceptance reports.

A replacement warranty commits the supplier to replace a faulty product or component during the warranty period, while a repair warranty commits to repairing it without charge. The operative terms come from the contract and the manufacturer's warranty.

After-sales support covers the ongoing technical assistance, servicing, spare parts and warranty service after delivery, sometimes formalized as an AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract).
