Use official forms provided (SBD 1, SBD 3.1, SBD 4, SBD 6.1) — do not re-type. Late submissions disqualified. Bid must remain valid for 90 days from closing date. Required documents: completed and signed SBD forms, proof of CSD registration, tax compliance PIN or TCS certificate, certified ID copies of directors/shareholders, B-BBEE certificate (or sworn affidavit for EMEs/QSEs), and authority for signatory (e.g., company resolution).

Evaluation Criteria
Source: __RFQ006-26 - Bloemfontein Stationery.pdfEvaluation uses the PPPFA 80/20 preference point system. Price accounts for 80 points (lowest acceptable tender scores highest). B-BBEE status level accounts for 20 points (Level 1: 20, Level 2: 18, Level 3: 14, Level 4: 12, Level 5: 8, Level 6: 6, Level 7: 4, Level 8: 2, Non-compliant: 0). Mandatory requirements: CSD registration, tax compliance (SARS PIN/TCS certificate), valid B-BBEE certificate (or sworn affidavit for EMEs/QSEs). Bidders in state service, or with directors/members in state service, are disqualified. Foreign suppliers must confirm RSA tax presence or liability; if none, no SARS TCS PIN required. Failure to submit required documentation for preference points results in zero points for that criterion.
