• Evaluation follows an 80/20 preference point system (80 points for price, 20 points for specific goals).
• Stage 1 – Phase 1: Special Conditions – assessment of local content letters and declarations.
• Stage 1 – Phase 2: Administrative Compliance – verification of completed SBD forms and required certificates.
• Stage 2 – Phase 1: Price and Specific Goals – price scored using the formula Ps = 80 × (1‑Pt/Pmin); lowest acceptable price (Pmin) is the benchmark.
• Specific‑goal points are awarded based on B‑BBEE status and ownership criteria (e.g., Level 1‑2 with ≥51 % black women ownership = 20 points, etc.). Only the highest‑scoring goal category is considered.
• Bidders who do not submit the required specific‑goal documentation receive zero preference points for that component.
