3. Functionality Criteria – scored out of 100 points; a minimum of 75 points required. Points allocated to company experience, project team experience, and individual specialist experience as detailed in the functional matrix.
4. Preference Point System – 80 % price weighting and 20 % specific goals (B‑BBEE level, women‑owned, disability‑owned, youth‑owned, local economic participation). Supporting documents must be provided to claim these points; lack of evidence yields zero points for that goal.
