TENDERS will be received at this Office until the
twentieth day of December, 1869, from persons
willing to supply the New Zealand Government with
Stationery, to be delivered free of expense in this
Colony, at such Port as the Government may indicate,
for the Twelve Months commencing on the first
June, 1870.

1. The value of all necessary packages, whether
   bulk be broken or not, must be included in the prices
   demanded, and the net weight or quantity only will
   be paid for.

2. A bond for the sum of £1,000, the Contractor in
   the sum of £500 and two approved sureties of £500
   each, for the due performance of the contract, will be
   required to be entered into within a month of the
   acceptance of the contract.

3. The Tenderers will be required to forward
   samples of the articles marked with an asterisk.
   Each sample must be indorsed with the number
   given to it in the Schedule.

4. The supplies are to be according to sample,
   and of the particular manufacture indicated in the
   Schedule.

5. In the case of different makers' goods, the Con-
   tractors will be required to supply the kind ordered.

6. Orders must receive prompt execution.

7. The Contractor will be required to furnish his
   account in the prescribed form simultaneously with
   delivery of the full quantity of goods ordered, the
   account being rendered with the order to which it
   relates.

8. The acceptance of the supplies will be subject
   to the approval of the officers in the various Provinces
   appointed by the Government. The Contractor may,
   however, claim a survey on any goods objected to;
   but in that case he must without delay give notice
   thereof in writing to the officer rejecting the goods.

9. Delivery will not be deemed to have been made
   until the goods have been approved of. All articles
   rejected must be immediately replaced by the Con-
   tractor, otherwise purchases will be effected at the
   Contractor's risk, and the extra expense incurred
   over and above the contract price (if any) will be
   deducted from the Contractor's account.

10. It will be competent either for the Contractor
    on his own behalf, or for the Honorable the Colonial
    Secretary on behalf of the Government, to terminate
    the contract by giving notice in writing of three
    months to the opposite party; it being understood
    that such notice can be given only from the first day
    of a month, and within the period for which the
    contract is made.

11. In the event of any alteration in the Tariff
    affecting any of the items included in the contract,
    the Government or the Contractor, as may be the
    case, will make a proportional allowance, by way of
    deduction from or increase of the price of the item so
    affected.

12. A. separate tender having been invited for
    certain descriptions of Printing Paper, the acceptance
    of any tender for the same descriptions of paper
    enumerated herein will be only for such quantities as
    may be required during the year in addition to the
    quantities contracted for by such separate tender.
