Evaluation is based on a 90/10 or 80/20 PPPFA system. Functionality (technical) must score a minimum of 70% to proceed. Functionality criteria: Documentation (40% weight) - valve datasheets/catalogues (100% submission = 100%, 99-50% = 50%, <50% = 0%); Compliance to Standards (30% weight) - full compliance = 100%, partial = 50%, none = 0%; Company Experience (30% weight) - ≥24 months = 100%, 12 months = 50%, <12 months = 0%; Supply Capability (15% weight) - fully demonstrated = 100%, partial = 50%, none = 0%; Risk Management Plan (15% weight) - plan submitted = 100%, none = 0%. Price is scored out of 90 points (inclusive of VAT, corrected for errors, adjusted for deviations). Specific Goals (B-BBEE) scored out of 10 points: Level 1 = 20, Level 2 = 18, Level 3 = 14, Level 4 = 12, Level 5 = 8, Level 6 = 6, Level 7 = 4, Level 8 = 2, Non-compliant = 0.
