i. past capital investments made by Tenderer in the past three (3) years to purchase, construct
or rehabilitate fixed assets in Oman, in relation to the development of industry in Oman (e.g.

office/depot construction/ refurbishment, physical infrastructure, training centres, research
establishments); and/or
ii. planned capital investments to be made by the Tenderer in similar fixed assets over the next
three (3) years

process (Articles 6.4.2 to 6.4.5).

conformance, and the corrective measures the Contractor has already, or intends, to put in place
to deliver the associated milestones.
6.4.3 Company shall approve corrective measures to be implemented by the Contractor, and the time

reports and whole of contractor ICV performance reports.
6.4.5 Failure by the Contractor to carry out the corrective measures in accordance with the time line
agreed under Article 6.4 shall be deemed a material breach of the Contract and the Company shall
have the right to withhold a part of its next payment until such noncompliance is corrected to the
Company’s satisfaction. The percentage of payment to be withheld will be pro rata to the level of
non-compliance so that if the Contractor is, for example, 90% compliant it will only receive 90% of
the payment to which it would otherwise have been entitled and this will be determined in the sole
discretion of the Company.
