Evaluation Criteria
Source: RFQ Template (1) LADIES'SMITH CABLE.pdf (RFQ)Stage 1 - Administrative Responsiveness: Bidders must meet all administrative criteria or be disqualified. Stage 2 - Functional Evaluation: Bidders must meet minimum functional requirements to be evaluated further. Stage 3 - Price and Preference: Price (P) and preference points are calculated using the formula: P = Pmin / Pvalue × 100, where Pmin = Rand value of lowest acceptable bid. Total points: 20 for price (80 points) and 20 for preference (20 points) — note: the text indicates 'Total 20 points' but the breakdown suggests 80/20 split; the document states 'Total 20 points' which may be an error. Bidders that do not comply with all criteria will not be evaluated further.
