Stage 2 (Price and Specific Goals) scores bids using the 80/20 preference point system: 80 points for price (lowest bid scores highest), 20 points for B-BBEE Status Level (Level 1 = 20 points, Level 2 = 18 points, etc.). Total possible score: 100. Bidders must submit SBD 6.1 to claim B-BBEE points. Non-compliant B-BBEE contributors score 0 for B-BBEE but remain eligible for price points.
