Evaluation Criteria
Source: RFQ _Piano Tuning.pdfEvaluation uses the 80/20 price/preference point system. Price accounts for 80 points, calculated as: Ps = 80 x (1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Ps = points for price, Pt = bidder’s price, Pmin = lowest responsive price. Preference points (20 points max) are awarded based on B-BBEE Status Level: Level 1 = 20, Level 2 = 18, Level 3 = 14, Level 4 = 12, Level 5 = 8, Level 6 = 6, Level 7 = 4, Level 8 = 2, Non-compliant = 0. Proof of B-BBEE status must be submitted; failure to do so means no preference points are awarded. Orders placed with the highest total adjudication points.
