Supporting proof for any specific goal points claimed must accompany the form. Failure to submit the required proof means no preference points will be claimed.
Evaluation Criteria
Source: Standard Bidding Document(SBD6.1).pdf (TENDER)The 80/20 preference point system applies: a maximum of 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals. Price points are calculated using the formula Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Pt is the tender price under consideration and Pmin is the price of the lowest acceptable tender. Specific goal points are allocated as follows: Black ownership 10 points, Woman ownership 5 points, Youth ownership 3 points, Disability ownership 2 points. Points for equity ownership are calculated as NEP = NOP x (EP/100), where NEP is points claimed, NOP is the maximum points for the goal, and EP is the percentage of total company ownership held by the relevant group. The lowest acceptable tender will be used to determine the accurate system once tenders are received.
