Adjudication: Joburg Market is not bound to accept the lowest or any tender.

It may negotiate with selected tenderers for cost effectiveness.

Risk analysis: Joburg Market will assess the reasonableness of the financial offer, unit rates, and the bidder's financial capacity using financial ratios (current ratio, solvency ratio, operating profit margin, cost coverage). Poor results may lead to rejection.
