Evaluation Criteria
Source: Invitation to Tender (ITT) DHP Drives.pdfEligibility: Tenderer must not be on international sanctions lists, restricted by National Treasury, or on the Tender Defaulters list. No conflict of interest with Eskom or other tenderers. Tenderers may not submit multiple bids (individually or as part of a JV/consortium) unless due to e-tendering size limits. Joint ventures/consortia must explicitly state joint and several liability in their agreement. Tenders signed by unauthorized persons will be disqualified. Subcontracting 100% of the scope is prohibited. Functionality: Minimum 70% threshold required; failure to meet this results in disqualification. Pricing: Scored out of 80 points. Evaluated inclusive of VAT, corrected for errors, excluding contingencies, and adjusted for acceptable variations. Unconditional discounts are considered; conditional discounts are applied at payment. Specific Goals: Scored out of 20 points under PPPFA 2022. Failure to submit evidence results in 0 points for that goal but not disqualification. Ranking: Based on combined scores from Pricing (80) and Specific Goals (20) under the 80/20 preferential point system.
