1.2  The size of the children’s dining table and chairs at number 29 is unsuitable. It is not possible to feed 6 children on a 1200 mm table. If you want to seat 6 children, you will need 6 separate chairs for 1 table. Also, the size of the chairs does not match the size of the table. 600х600х350 mm. If you plan to place one long chair, its length should be 1200 mm. The chair’s height is 350 mm, which is excessively low. Children will be unable to reach their dining table while sitting on such a low chair. Kindly explain the standard.

• Dining table: 1200×600×530–750 mm
• Chairs: 350-400 (seat width)×300-350 (seat depth)×350–450 (height) mm

Each table should be paired with six separate chairs.

Although the bid document clearly states that the goods will be exempt
from Mongolia’s standard VAT of 10% and customs duties of 5%, we would
like to confirm that this is exactly how the tax handling will be
done.

Unfortunately we had two cases with our projects with the Ministry of
Education where we had to pay the taxes although tax exemption was
mentioned in the contract. This is why we deem it appropriate to
reconfirm this with you prior to submission of the bid documents.

Furthermore, prior to the announcement of this tender, we obtained an official confirmation letter from the Ministry of Finance of Mongolia affirming that all goods to be procured under this project are eligible for tax and duty exemption. The necessary exemption documentation will be arranged and issued through the Ministry of Education to an awarded supplier.
