## Variant 2 — Statement of Deviations (use only when explicitly taking exception)

*(Public-sector tenders usually reject bids with deviations. Consult before using this variant. If the deviation is material, consider not bidding rather than declaring it.)*

**Re:** Tender Reference No. [TENDER REF NO] — "[TENDER TITLE]"

Dear Sir/Madam,

In response to your tender, we wish to record the following deviations from the terms of the tender document. Each deviation is enumerated below with the relevant tender clause reference and the specific deviation we propose:

| # | Tender clause reference | Tender requirement (verbatim) | Cithorum's proposed deviation | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | [Section X.Y] | [Quote tender wording] | [Quote Cithorum's alternative] | [Brief justification] |
| 2 | … | … | … | … |

All other terms and conditions of the tender are accepted in full.

We understand that the Issuing Authority is under no obligation to accept any of the deviations proposed and reserves the right to reject our bid in whole or in part on the basis of any deviation it considers material.

Yours faithfully,

For Cithorum [INDIA LEGAL SUFFIX]

*Filing notes (internal — remove before submission):*

- Default to **Variant 1**. Public-sector procurement officers treat any declared deviation as a flag.
- If the tender mandates a specific Statement-of-No-Deviations format in its annexures, copy that format verbatim and adapt only the company details.
- Sign in blue ink with the company round seal across the signature.
