ÇAYKUR's purchasing and tender regulations changed

Turkey's state-owned tea company, ÇAYKUR, has revised its purchasing and tender regulations, introducing stricter measures for product quality. The amendments, published in the Official Gazette, specifically target the detection of defects in delivered goods.

Under the new rules, ÇAYKUR reserves the right to reject any delivered goods if the identified defects amount to more than 8 percent of the material's cost. This threshold empowers the company to refuse substandard products, ensuring a higher standard of quality in its procurement processes.

In cases where the defect rate exceeds the 8 percent limit, ÇAYKUR holds the authority to either accept the goods despite the flaws or to terminate the contract altogether. If the contract is terminated due to significant defects, the amount deducted as a penalty for the imperfection will be offset against the supplier's outstanding payments.
