Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system for quotations up to R1,000,000: 80 points for price (lowest acceptable tender scores highest) and 20 points for specific goals. Specific goals include >50% ownership by Black People, Women, or People with Disabilities. For price scoring: Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Ps = points scored, Pt = tender price, Pmin = lowest acceptable tender price. Joint ventures/partnerships must submit consolidated B-BBEE certificates in the name of the joined entities to claim preference points. Failure to submit required documentation for specific goals means no points will be awarded for those goals. DFFE may disqualify bidders for fraudulent claims or non-compliance.
