Type of Bonds

1. Contract Bonds

The Public Procurement Act takes into consideration among the security obligations that upon the decision of the tenderer this obligation can be performed not only by payment of the specified amount to the bank account of the contracting authority or by providing a bank guarantee, but also in the form of an insurance bond – including absolute suretyship – that is provided by an insurance company shall also be accepted. The parties of contracts as concluded under the scope of private law have the freedom to choose the insurance bonds instead of other instruments or to complement other instruments.

Bid Bond

This type of bond secures for the prospective employer that the tenderer is making a responsible bid and will be bound if the bid is accepted.

Performance Bond

This sort of collateral protects the employer against contractual default. In the event of the default of our client regarding his/her contractual obligations, the Insurer guarantees to bear the residual costs in order to fulfil the contract up to the bond limit.

Maintenance Bond

This provides surety for the entitled in case the entitled exercises his/her justifiable quality claims against the obligor within a certain period of time after the technical acceptance of the construction in order to make good for the faults occurred, and the obligor is not able to fulfil his/her obligation.

Advance Payment Bond
