Additional evaluation factors: experience with similar work (track record of similar scope/size), adherence to pricing instructions, and compliance with Notice to Bidders.
Only bids meeting minimum functionality thresholds proceed to price evaluation.
The bid with the highest combined points (price + municipal goals) wins.
Exclusions: Bidders in the service of the state, listed as tender defaulters, with unsatisfactory past performance (last 5 years), or who abused supply chain systems.
Foreign bidders are exempt from TCS PIN if they have no RSA presence, income, or tax liability.
