Such Services requests may relate to property maintenance services, repair services, installation services, inspection-based repair works, replacement of damaged materials, equipment, or fixtures, or other operational services connected with the maintenance, repair, servicing, or operational management of Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s). Services requests may originate from BSO Client(s), including but not limited to landlords, tenants or subtenants occupying or responsible for the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), and may be submitted to BSO. Following receipt of such request, BSO may review the request, arrange inspection where required, prepare a scope of Services, and publish the relevant Services request through BSO Club Portal for participation by BSO Vendor. Participation in such Services opportunities through BSO Club Portal is conditional upon successful registration of BSO Vendor, submission and verification of all documentation required by BSO, and continued compliance with these Terms and any applicable Service Agreements;
3.2 Where a Services request requires technical evaluation or confirmation of the issue reported by the BSO Client(s) in relation to a Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), BSO may arrange for an inspection to be conducted at the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s).

Such inspection reports may include descriptions of the issue identified, the scope of the Services required, any recommended repair, replacement, or maintenance services, relevant photographs or supporting documentation, and any operational instructions necessary for BSO Vendor to prepare quotations for the requested Services relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s);
3.3 Following completion of inspection and preparation of the scope of Services, BSO may issue a tender through BSO Club Portal relating to the requested Services for the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s). Such tender may contain the inspection report, the scope of Services, description of required repair or maintenance works, technical specifications, required materials or equipment, estimated timelines for commencement and completion of the Services, operational instructions, and any other technical, operational, or commercial information necessary for BSO Vendor to prepare quotations. BSO may determine, at its sole discretion, which vendor other than you or BSO Vendor is eligible to participate in a specific tender and may grant access to such tender only to selected vendors through BSO Club Portal;
3.4 In urgent, emergency, preventive, safety-related, time-sensitive, or operationally critical situations, BSO may directly allocate, assign, mobilize, or authorize the commencement of the relevant Services to any vendor other than you or to BSO Vendor prior to the completion of the standard quotation, tendering, approval, comparative assessment, or operational allocation process, subject to subsequent post-facto operational review, documentation, commercial and pricing confirmation, approval alignment, adjustment, or regularization by BSO. The relevant BSO Vendor shall cooperate with any subsequent documentation, quotation submission, pricing alignment, operational review, approval process, or regularization procedures required by BSO in connection with such Services;
3.5 BSO may publish Services requests, inspection reports, scopes of Services, or requests for quotation through BSO Club Portal from time to time in relation to specific Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s). Such Services requests may contain information relating to the nature of the Services required, the location of the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), the description of the issue identified during inspection, materials or equipment required to perform the Services, estimated timelines for commencement and completion of the Services, and any other operational, commercial, or technical information necessary for BSO Vendor to prepare quotations. BSO Vendor who receive access to such Services requests through BSO Club Portal may review the information provided and may submit quotations for the requested Services within the timeframe specified by BSO. BSO may determine which vendor other than you or BSO Vendor receives access to specific Service requests relating to particular Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s) at its sole discretion;
3.6 BSO Vendor who receive access to a tender through BSO Club Portal may review the tender documentation and submit quotations for the requested Services within the timeframe specified by BSO. BSO Vendor shall ensure that any quotation submitted accurately reflects the scope of Services described in the tender and complies with any operational, technical, or commercial conditions specified by BSO. Quotations submitted by BSO Vendor through BSO Club Portal must include all information requested by BSO through the portal interface and may include, without limitation:
3.6.1 Itemized pricing for each component of the requested Services relating to the Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s);
3.6.2 The proposed timeline for commencement and completion of the Services;
3.6.3 Warranty or guarantee periods applicable to materials supplied or workmanship provided;

BSO Vendor acknowledges that once a quotation has been submitted through BSO Club Portal, BSO Vendor may not modify the quotation even if the BSO Club Portal subsequently displays pricing comparisons or other vendor quotations;
3.7 Services requests relating to Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s) may contain multiple service components or items forming part of the overall scope of Services. In certain cases, BSO may identify specific service items as critical items within the tender documentation. Critical items represent service components that are considered essential for the repair, safety, or operational functionality of the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s) and therefore cannot be removed or excluded from the scope of Services once the tender process has been completed. Other service components may be classified as non-critical items, which may be adjusted or removed by the BSO Client(s) prior to confirmation of the Services without affecting the execution of the critical items. BSO Vendor submitting quotations through BSO Club Portal shall ensure that pricing for each service component is clearly itemized so that any removal or modification of non-critical items does not affect the pricing or execution of critical service items;
3.8 For certain Services requests relating to Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), BSO may establish operational parameters applicable to the tender process conducted through BSO Club Portal. Such parameters may include indicative guidance relating to pricing ranges, commencement timelines, completion timelines, quotation validity periods, or other operational considerations relevant to the execution of the requested Services. These parameters may be determined by BSO or by personnel authorized by BSO to coordinate Services requests, including maintenance coordinators or other operational representatives responsible for preparing the scope of Services and administering the tender process. Where such parameters are established, BSO Club Portal may display notifications or guidance to BSO Vendor during the quotation submission process indicating that the submitted quotation falls outside the indicative parameters established for the relevant tender. BSO Vendor acknowledges that such parameters and notifications are intended to provide operational guidance during the tender process. BSO may review all quotations submitted through BSO Club Portal and may take into account operational, commercial, and technical considerations when evaluating quotations received;
3.9 Upon submission of a quotation through BSO Club Portal, BSO Vendor acknowledges and agrees that the quotation constitutes a binding commercial offer to perform the requested Services relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s) in accordance with the scope of Services described in the tender and in accordance with the pricing, timelines, and conditions specified in the quotation submitted by BSO Vendor. Once submitted through BSO Club Portal, quotations may not be withdrawn, amended, or replaced unless such modification is permitted by the functionality of BSO Club Portal or expressly authorized by BSO;
3.10 Following submission of quotations by participating BSO Vendor, BSO may review the quotations received and may shortlist a number of quotations based on operational, commercial, and technical considerations. Such considerations may include pricing competitiveness, vendor performance history, BSO Vendor Rating(s) maintained by BSO, vendor availability, operational capacity, previous Services performance relating to Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), and any other factors that BSO considers relevant in determining suitable vendors for the requested Services. Shortlisted quotations may be presented to the BSO Client(s) for review and selection. BSO Client(s) may select a vendor based on a combination of price, BSO Vendor Rating(s) maintained by BSO, and other operational or commercial considerations;
3.11 Following the submission and evaluation of quotations and the selection of the BSO Vendor for Services relating to Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), BSO Client(s) and/or BSO may request a revision in the quoted price for the requested Services through BSO Club App and/or BSO Club Portal. Where such request is made, BSO Club Portal may notify the selected vendors other than you or the BSO Vendor of the proposed revised price and invite BSO Vendor to confirm whether the vendor agrees to provide the requested Services at the revised price. BSO Vendor may accept or decline the proposed price adjustment through BSO Club Portal. Where BSO Vendor agrees to the revised price, the Services shall proceed on the basis of the revised price confirmed through BSO Club Portal. Where BSO Vendor does not agree to the proposed price adjustment, BSO may, at its sole discretion, continue with the originally submitted quotation, negotiate further commercial revisions, reassign the relevant Services to another vendor, cancel the relevant Services request, or take such other operational measures as BSO considers appropriate in relation to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s).Where a revised price is agreed through BSO Club App and/or BSO Club Portal, the portal may generate the corresponding invoice or payment instruction reflecting the agreed price for the Services relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s);
3.12 Once a vendor has been selected by the BSO Client(s) and the selection has been confirmed by BSO, the selected vendor will be notified through BSO Club Portal or through official communication issued by BSO regarding the assignment of the Services request relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s). Upon such notification, BSO Vanro and/or the vendor other than you shall prepare to commence the requested Services in accordance with the timeline proposed in the vendor’s quotation or any timeline communicated by BSO. Where required for the performance of the Services, BSO may assist the vendor with operational coordination including access arrangements for the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), permits required for the performance of Services, or other administrative matters necessary for the execution of the requested Services;
3.13 BSO Club Portal may record the timeline proposed by BSO Vendor and/or the vendor other than you for commencement and completion of the Services relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s). BSO Vendor is responsible for commencing the Services within the timeframe specified in their quotation or within the timeframe communicated through the portal. If the BSO Vendor and/or the vendor other than you fails to commence the Services within the agreed timeframe without reasonable justification, BSO may issue notifications requesting commencement of the Services. Where the BSO Vendor and/or the vendor other than you fails to commence the Services despite such notifications, BSO may take operational measures including reassignment of the Services request to another vendor without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to BSO under these Terms;
3.14 Upon completion of the Services relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), BSO Vendor shall update the status of the Services request through BSO Club Portal and upload any documentation required by BSO for verification of completion of the Services. Such documentation may include completion reports, photographic evidence of the Services performed, invoices issued by the vendor, warranties relating to materials installed, or any other documentation requested by BSO to verify that the requested Services have been completed. Completion of the Services may be subject to confirmation by the BSO Client(s), including completion of a Client Satisfaction Survey or similar confirmation process administered through the systems operated by BSO;
3.15 Where the BSO Vendor has been selected by the BSO Client(s) and confirmed by BSO for the provision of Services relating to a specific Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s), the vendor shall remain responsible for performing the Services in accordance with the scope of Services, timelines, and operational requirements communicated through BSO Club App and/or BSO Club Portal. If the BSO Vendor fails to commence the Services within the agreed timeframe, fails to perform the Services in accordance with the required professional standards, fails to complete the Services within the agreed timeline, or otherwise fails to comply with the operational requirements communicated by BSO, BSO reserves the right to remove the vendor from the assigned Services request. In such circumstances, BSO may, at its sole discretion, appoint another vendor other than you and/or the BSO Vendor to perform or complete the Services relating to the relevant Property Unit(s) and/or Building(s). The removal or replacement of a vendor under such circumstances shall not affect any rights or remedies available to BSO under these Terms, including the right to impose warnings, penalties, deductions, or suspension of the vendor’s participation in future Services requests.
