Specific goal points (80/20 system):

• Black ownership: up to 10 points
• Woman ownership: up to 5 points
• Youth ownership: up to 3 points
• Disability ownership: up to 2 points

Points are calculated by multiplying the maximum points for the goal by the percentage of total company ownership held directly by active directors or members who are also registered owners, divided by 100.

Evidence required for each goal claimed:

• Black: certified ID copy, certified company registration document, CSD full detail report showing ownership equity.
• Woman: certified ID copy, certified company registration document, CSD full detail report showing ownership equity.
• Youth: certified ID copy, certified company registration document, CSD full detail report showing ownership equity.
• Disability: medical certificate from a practitioner registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) confirming the disability.

Documents with a certification stamp older than 6 months are invalid and will forfeit the specific goal points claimed.

Failure to submit the required proof with the tender means no specific goal points are claimed.

The organ of state may require substantiation of any preference claim before or after adjudication.

Price evaluation formula (80/20):

Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin) / Pmin)

Where Ps = points for price, Pt = price of tender under consideration, Pmin = price of lowest acceptable tender.

Points allocation:

• Price: 80
• Specific goals: 20
• Total: 100

Price includes all applicable taxes less unconditional discounts.

Note: The lowest acceptable tender will be used to determine the accurate system once tenders are received.

SBD 6.1 (Preference Points Claim Form) must be completed and submitted to claim specific goal preference points.

Specific goal ownership must be substantiated with required documentation (see evaluation criteria).

This section contains only definitions from the SBD 6.1 form. No contractual terms specific to this tender are provided.

Specific goal points (80/20 system):

• Black ownership: up to 10 points
• Woman ownership: up to 5 points
• Youth ownership: up to 3 points
