posed to be let to tender will be thrown into the alphabetical order of the names of the first-mentioned offices, numbered consecutively, and entered in black ink. The estimated revenue will appear against both present and proposed services. In every case in which it will facilitate reference the present number of an existing service is to be given. The schedule is also to serve for memoranda in which the Chief Postmaster will set out his proposals in regard to the services. The remarks in respect of each service are to be allotted a separate paragraph, in red ink, immediately after the entry of the service.
263. On the receipt of printed copies of the advertisement calling for tenders for mail-services in the district, the Chief Postmaster will at once arrange for their distribution to sub-offices, and also for the advertisement to be inserted in newspapers to which Government advertisements are to be given. The authorised newspapers at the chief post town are to receive an advertisement of all services in the district; but those at less important places are to be given an advertisement of services in the locality only, with a footnote stating that the full list, together with terms and conditions of tendering, may be seen at any post-office.
264. On the expiry of the time for receiving tenders, the tenders submitted are to receive a careful examination, particularly in regard to the correctness of the entry of the number, places, and frequency of the service or services to which each tender refers. A schedule is to be made out on Form P.O. 99, and despatched with the tenders under registered cover as soon as possible to the Secretary, General Post Office. In the preparation of the schedule ample space is to be left between the entries of services, and no writing is to appear in the “Remarks” column, which is to be wholly reserved for use at the General Post Office. Black ink is to be used for writing in the service, but the Chief Postmaster’s remarks or recommendations immediately following each entry are to appear in red ink. In no case is the tender recommended for acceptance to be marked with an asterisk or other sign of reference. The remarks should commence with an intimation as to which of the tenderers, if any, is the present contractor. In the schedule the tenderers’ names are to appear in order of the amounts of their tenders, the lowest being first and the highest last. Where no deposit has been received, this should be shown by inserting the word “None” in the column
