Details
Applying this principle to the facts of the procurement project subject matter of this opinion, we are of the opinion that even assuming arguendo that the clause "inclusive of 2% maximum allowable spoilage" is considered a provision for discount to the price offer of Php0.50 per copy, the LBP-BAC cannot deduct said two percent (2%) from the Php0.50 price proposal in the evaluation of its bid because the bidding documents did not provide for any requirements pertaining to spoilage.
