Section
Source: Commercial.zipEvaluation uses 80/20 preference point system (price 80 points, specific goals 20 points) for tenders valued up to R50 million. Functionality (technical) is a gate: minimum 75% score required across six weighted criteria, otherwise bid is disqualified. Functionality weights: Instrument Specifications 15%, Support 15%, Warranty 15%, Supplier Experience 25%, Training Program 10%, Project Timeline 20%. Each criterion is scored binary (fully compliant = 100%, any non-compliance = 0%) except Warranty (tiered) and Supplier Experience (tiered). Price evaluation includes VAT, arithmetic correction, NPV comparison with price adjustment factors and exchange rates. Specific goals scored per PPPFA 2022 via SBD 6.1; missing evidence yields zero points for that goal but does not disqualify. Contractual requirements (CSD registration, SHEQ) assessed post-ranking and must be satisfied before award.
