Bid Bond
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any Principal who desires to award a target project by competitive bidding process would want an assurance that as a Bidder, you would not withdraw from the bid until the contract is duly awarded; and that if you happen to be the winner, you would proceed to obtain a Performance Security for the contract. Failure would result in a penalty paid to the Principal. Glico General acts as Surety by issuing our Bid Security Bond to guarantee to the Principal that you would conform to the terms of the Bid and that if you fail to comply, we should be held liable for up to the amount of the Bond issued to the Principal.
Performance Bond
The Principal, having awarded the contract to you, may want a guarantee that you would perform the contract in accordance with stated specifications and within a specified period. Again, Glico General would act as a Surety to provide a Performance Guarantee to the effect that you would carry out the contract in accordance with the specifications and within the agreed period. The Principal would thus fall on us to pay up to the amount of the guarantee bond should you fail to perform as mentioned above.
Advance Payment
In some situations, a Principal who awards a contract to a Contractor agrees to make some advance payments to enable the Contractor mobilize resources towards effective performance of the job(s). Our Advance Mobilization Guarantee is a form of loan guarantee which protects the Principal against loss of advance payment. Our policy provides that we, as insurers, guarantee the judicious use of the monies advanced to the Contractor on the job failing which we shall pay whatever balances that may remain outstanding should the contractor fail to perform the contract.
