Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system: 80 points for price (lowest acceptable bid scores highest), 20 points for preference goals (B-BBEE). Points for price are calculated as: Ps = 80

• (Pmin / Pt), where Ps = points scored, Pmin = lowest acceptable bid price, Pt = bidder’s price. Preference points for B-BBEE are awarded based on the bidder’s contributor status level (valid certificate or sworn affidavit for EMEs/QSEs required).

Technical functionality and compliance with specifications are mandatory; failure to meet these may lead to disqualification.
