Dear Sir,
We are again writing to you with regards the order placement of tiles from the specified supplier M/s Sensi for the specified tiles from M/s Marazzi and M/s Casalagrande as we are still waiting for your response on the two major related issues holding us from placing the order as detailed below:
- Advance Payment of Tiles:
During our meeting held on 26 May xxxx at your office with M/s Sensi, you have requested the supplier to reduce his advance payment from 40% to 25% and we discussed that M/s xxx (Contractor Name) will handle 20% of that amount while M/s Al Sahel will support with the balance amount of 5%.
Unfortunately M/s Sensi only reduced their advance payment to 30% while also reducing their LC from 90 days to 60 days (Appendix 1) which remains beyond the capability of M/s xxx (Contractor Name) and we are still unable to proceed with finalization of this purchase order under these terms.
Based on that, kindly let us know whether you would be able to assist with the amount of 10% instead of 5% or would you like to negotiate again with M/s Sensi to reduce their advance payment to 25%.
Alternatively, we require your clearance to submit pre-qualification and material from alternative suppliers in compliance with the PC rates specified in our Contract.
Should you not be willing to proceed with the above alternative, we hereby officially request you to supply the tiles as part of your Free Issue Materials.
- TL-202 (non-confirmed tile sizes)
In addition to the advance payment matter explained above, M/s Sensi has notified us about their incapability to confirm the caliber of the wall tiles (TL-202) prior to production since the order is for a non-rectified materials. Please refer to the letter received from them (Appendix 2) confirming the same.
M/s Sensi during the meeting held on 26 May xxxx explained further that the specified materials are rectified tiles but Sensi has submitted and obtained approval on a non-rectified sample based on Al Sahel request to reduce the price of almost xxx AED/sqm between rectified and non-rectified tile. However they have confirmed as well during the meeting that they will not be able to control the caliber for the mass production of non-rectified tiles.
Based on that, we have notified during the meeting that this uncertainty and non-confirmation on the tiles sizes will impact our finishing and grout lines which will not be matching with the approved drawings. Therefore we have requested you to discuss with the Engineer and confirm the same will be acceptable.
Till date we haven’t received any confirmation that such changes in tile sizes and its consequences on the finishing will be accepted by the consultant and/or the Employer. Therefore, we urge you to provide us with a final confirmation as we are unable to place the order for this wall tile Tl-202 without it.
Kindly revert back to us on an urgent basis since we are currently in a position where the materials are approved and the order is prepared but is unable to be processed for the reasons stated above and this will cause delay to the production of pods.
Yours faithfully,
On behalf of xxx LLC
