Evaluation is in two stages. Stage 1: Functionality (technical compliance) using a weighted scorecard. Minimum threshold is 70% to qualify for further evaluation. Eskom reserves the right to consider suppliers scoring 60% to 69%. Stage 2: Price and Specific Goals under the 80/20 preferential point system. Price is scored out of 80 points.
