Evaluation uses the 90/10 Price Preference Point System. Maximum 90 points for price (calculated as Ps = 90(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Pt = bid price, Pmin = lowest acceptable bid). Maximum 10 points for B-BBEE status and specific goals (ownership, RDP, sub-contracting). Functionality is not evaluated. Non-responsive tenders (e.g., incomplete, non-compliant, or with material deviations) will be rejected. Preference points are derived from: (1) Ownership (50% weighting: Black ownership 75%, Female ownership 25%); (2) RDP Goal (25% weighting: location-based points for South Africa, KZN, or eThekwini); (3) Sub-contracting (25% weighting: points for committing to sub-contract >25% of work to Black-owned SMMEs).
