• Evaluation is conducted in three stages:

1. Administrative compliance – verification of all compulsory returnable documents (CSD, tax status, rates & taxes, signed MBD forms, financial statements, etc.).
2. Preference points system – 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals (B‑B‑BEE level, EME/QSE status, women‑ownership, disability‑ownership, youth‑ownership, local economic participation). Proof must be submitted to claim points; no proof = 0 points for that goal.
3. Mandatory requirements – reference letter for similar work and any other mandatory conditions.

• Scoring: total of 100 points (80 price + 20 specific goals). The highest‑scoring compliant bidder is awarded.
• Minimum thresholds: all administrative documents must be satisfactory; otherwise the bid is disqualified regardless of score.
• Preference points are allocated only after verification of supporting documentation; fraudulent claims may lead to disqualification and possible sanctions.
