All key personnel: certified proof of qualification required. Company experience: 15-year lookback from closing date. Key personnel experience: contactable client references and reference letters required.

Stage 4 — Price and Preference (PPPFA system)

Preference point system determined by lowest acceptable tender value:

• 80/20 system if value ≤ R50 million
• 90/10 system if value > R50 million

Price formulas:

• 80/20: Ps = 80(1-(Pt-Pm)/Pm)
• 90/10: Ps = 90(1-(Pt-Pm)/Pm)

B-BBEE preference points (specific goals):

80/20 system (max 20 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

90/10 system (max 10 points): Level 1 = 10; Level 2 = 9; Level 3 = 6; Level 4 = 5; Level 5 = 4; Level 6 = 3; Level 7 = 2; Level 8 = 1; Non-compliant = 0

Deadlock breaking: highest preference points → highest functionality points → drawing of lots
