Evaluation Criteria

The 80/20 system applies to tenders up to R50M; the 90/10 system applies above R50M. If unclear, the lowest/highest acceptable tender determines the system. Points for price are calculated using the formula: Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin) or Ps = 90(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin). Specific goals (80/20 system): Women-owned (51%+) = 8 points, Youth-owned (51%+) = 5 points, Black-owned (51%+) = 4 points, People with disabilities (51%+) = 3 points.
