to the panel members to submit quotations in relation to the required services. Panel

members will be required to respond to the RFQ within a specified timeframe.

After the panel members respond to the RFQ, the responses will be evaluated based

on the evaluation criteria set on the RFQ. The evaluation criteria will be dependent on

the project scope, however, as a minimum, panel members will be evaluated on

mandatory compliance information as well as on the PPPFA points evaluation. The

panel member scoring the highest points will be awarded the contract.

If a panel member is, within the panel appointment duration, awarded a contract whose

Certificate of independent bid determination

1. This Municipal Bidding Document (MBD) must form part of all bids1 invited.

2. Section 4 (1) (b) (iii) of the Competition Act No. , as amended, prohibits an

agreement between, or concerted practice by, firms, or a decision by an association of

justified under any grounds.

other improper conduct in relation to such system.

b) cancel a contract awarded to a supplier of goods and services if the supplier

services through a bidding process. Bid rigging is, therefore, an agreement

between competitors not to compete. 2
