• Proof of registration on National Treasury's Central Supplier Database (CSD).
• Tax compliance status per CSD or SARS e-filing.

Disqualification risks

• Failure to meet any pre-qualifying criterion, the specification or scope of work, or the stated terms and conditions.
• Missing CSD proof, tax compliance evidence, or any of SBD 1, SBD 4 or SBD 6.1.
• Functionality score below the 60% threshold.

Evaluation stages

1. Screening for compliance — a shortlist is drawn; bidders must meet every pre-qualifying requirement to proceed.
2. Functionality evaluation — minimum qualifying score: 60%. Bids below the threshold are not evaluated further.
3. Price and specific goals — adjudicated on the 80/20 preference point system.

Scoring split

• Price: maximum 80 points, calculated on the prescribed formula for bids up to R50 million.
• Specific goals: maximum 20 points, claimed on SBD 6.1 supported by a certified B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit.

Specific goals categories (each allocated 5 points)

• EMEs and QSEs — an EME scores 100% of the allocated points, a QSE 50%.
• Companies owned by black people, women or youth.
• Companies owned by people with disabilities.
• Companies owned by black people living in rural or underdeveloped areas.
• Companies owned by black people living in townships.

Functionality rating scale

• 5 Excellent; 4 Very Good; 3 Good; 2 Average; 1 Poor.
• Panel members score each criterion, apply the weighting, and convert the total to a percentage.

Other rules

• A bidder intending to subcontract more than 25% of the contract value to a party that does not hold at least the same specific goals status scores no points for specific goals, unless the subcontractor is an EME able to execute the work.
• If the highest-scoring bid is not market-related, the department may negotiate a market-related price or cancel the tender; if no market-related price is agreed, the tender is cancelled.
• Ties are broken first on specific goals points; if still equal, by drawing of lots.
• A contract may, on reasonable and justifiable grounds, be awarded to a bid that did not score the highest points.
