Stage 2 – Functional Evaluation: proposals that comply with mandatory criteria are evaluated against functional criteria; only those meeting the minimum requirement proceed.

Stage 3 – Price and Preference: lowest price scores highest points; preference points under the 80/20 system require a valid B-BBEE certificate.

Bidders that do not comply with all mandatory eligibility criteria will not be evaluated further.

Preference points (total 20) are awarded for:

• Disability: 2 points with a doctor's note confirming disability.

Price points are calculated using the 80/20 formula: Ps = 80 [1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin], where Pt is the bid under consideration and Pmin is the lowest acceptable bid.
