• Submit all returnable annexures listed in the RFB (Annexures A–M). Mandatory annexures: A (CHS Agent registration), F (Price Schedule), and any other marked as mandatory; failure to submit a mandatory document results in disqualification.
• Attendance at the compulsory briefing session is required; TCTA will check the attendance register and will disqualify bidders who did not attend.
• All returnables must be submitted regardless of whether they are marked mandatory or non‑mandatory; non‑mandatory documents that are linked to functional criteria will receive zero points if omitted.
• Bidders must complete the annexures in the prescribed format and submit them by the closing date. Incomplete annexures may be requested; failure to provide them within 5 working days may lead to disqualification.
• Submissions are to be sent to the address/email specified on the front page of the RFB ([email protected]). No other contact points may be used for submission.
• Any fraudulent information, blacklisted status, or conflict of interest (e.g., directors employed by organ of state without proper clearance) will result in immediate disqualification.

• Functional capacity is scored out of 100 points across Company Experience (max 20), Personnel Experience (max 30), and other functional criteria. Minimum threshold: 67.5 points; bidders below this are disqualified.
• Specific goals (black ownership and skills development) are scored out of 20 points (black ownership up to 16 points, skills development up to 4 points). B‑BBEE points are awarded based on a consolidated certificate for JVs/consortia.
• Price is weighted at 80% of the total score. For bids below R50 million, price points are calculated using the formula: Ps = 80 × (1 – (Pt – Pmin) / Pmin). Prices must be firm, in Rands, inclusive of VAT and disbursements.
• Overall bidder score = Specific Goals (20) + Price (80). The 80/20 preference point system applies.
• Bidders not meeting the functional threshold or failing to submit mandatory documents are disqualified before price evaluation.
