Description
Source: SBD 6.1 IN TERMS OF PPR2022.pdf
This tender is for an income-generating contract, specifically the leasing of office space to the MDDA for five years.
It is defined as a written offer for leasing or other revenue-producing agreements between the organ of state and a third party, excluding direct sales or public auctions.
Evaluation Criteria
Source: SBD 6.1 IN TERMS OF PPR2022.pdf (TENDER)
The tender is evaluated using a preference point system: either 80/20 (for contracts up to R50 million incl. taxes) or 90/10 (for contracts above R50 million incl. taxes). The applicable system will be determined by the organ of state; if unclear, for income-generating contracts (like this lease) the highest acceptable tender will be used to determine the system.
Points are allocated for Price and Specific Goals, totalling 100 points.
For income-generating contracts (leasing), price points are calculated using the formula: Ps = 80 (1 + (Pt - Pmax)/Pmax) or Ps = 90 (1 + (Pt - Pmax)/Pmax), where Pmax is the price of the highest acceptable tender.
Specific goals points are claimed based on ownership categories (see compliance requirements).
Tenderers must submit proof/documentation to claim specific goal points; failure to do so means no points are claimed for those goals.
The organ of state may request substantiation of any preference claims before or after adjudication.
Tenderers must complete and sign the SBD 6.1 form, including the declaration section.
