System: 80/20 preference point system — 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals, out of 100.

Points allocation

• Price: 80
• Women ownership: 6
• Black ownership: 12
• SMME (EME or QSE): 2

Price scoring

• Formula: Ps = 80 × (1 − (Pt − Pmin) / Pmin), where Pt is the price under consideration and Pmin the lowest acceptable price.
• The lowest acceptable bid scores the full 80 price points; higher bids score proportionally fewer.

Specific goals

• Women ownership: 6 × the percentage of the enterprise owned by women who are actively involved in day-to-day management.
• Black ownership: 12 × the percentage owned by black persons who did not have voting rights under the HDI definition.
• SMME: 2 points for a confirmed EME or QSE, 0 points otherwise.
• No supporting proof submitted with the RFQ means zero points for that goal.
• Specific goal points are added to price points and the total is rounded to two decimal places.

Award

• Award goes to the bidder with the highest total points, unless objective criteria under section 2(1)(f) of the PPPFA justify awarding to another bidder.
• Deadlock: the bidder with the higher specific goals score wins; if still tied, the award is decided by drawing lots.
• The department may negotiate with bidders before or after award.
• The department may apply the 80/20 system to bids between R2 000 and R30 000, as stated in the invitation.
