FAQ
What are Bid Bonds Used For?
- Construction projects
Are bid bonds returned?
Yes, once the project is completed as per the contract, the bond amount is returned.
Construction Bonds
Most large construction projects require that the contractor provide a construction bond (guarantee) which can range from 2 % to 20 %. In the event of the contractor not fulfilling his obligations, the Construction Guarantee will be paid to the project owner, to assist in recovering losses incurred for an incomplete project but is subject to various conditions.
Why use our providers?
In most instances, our costs are cheaper. Interest is paid on the funds lodged (most banks do not do this) and rates form our service providers are much better than the banks can provide. Banks in most instances will not pay any interest on the fees and deposits called in terms of the guarantee. Our guarantee provider in this case is underwritten and backed by one of the largest insurance companies in South Africa.
Performance Guarantee
A bond (guarantee) is provided by one party of a contract (the bidder) to protect the interests of another party (the client), in the event of non-performance.
The supplier of the goods or service is normally required to issue a Performance Guarantee for the benefit of the importer or receiver of the goods or service. The guarantee amount can vary from 2 % to 10 % (or more) of the contract amounts.
The receiver of the goods / service can claim against this performance bond if the supplier of the goods does not perform in accordance with the trade contract, undertakings, agreements or LC’s.
