FEEDS FROM INTERNATIONAL GATEWAYS, INTERNATIONAL SATELLITES AND HOST BROADCASTERS ON AN AS AND
WHEN REQUIRED BASIS FOR A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS.
METHODS OF WORK
A panel of vendors will be chosen solely on the basis of capability, not price. The allocation of work will be
based on principles of rotation based on competitiveness and taking into consideration technical viability of
the solution and quotation to ensure the fair and equitable distribution of works among the panel of suppliers.
On quotation panel- Once a quotation panel has been established, SCM practitioners should source from
the panel by issuing RFQ to all suppliers in the panel as part of the evaluation process, where the panellists
may tender based on the 80:20 or 90:10 Preference Point System as may be relevant to the order.
Selection turnaround time:, A minimum of 1 day turnaround time shall be applied in all procurement thresholds.
REASONING FOR NOT SUB-CONTRACTING:
In line with paragraph 14.2.3 of the SABC procedure manual it states that: A person awarded a contract may
only enter a subcontracting arrangement with the approval of the SABC. Therefore, for the purposes of the
Panel of Service Providers for the procurement of services to collect and on-pass feeds from international
gateways, international satellite and host broadcasters RFP project, BSC members resolved not to include the
subcontracting element in the RFP because:, The budget will be shared amongst various service providers; hence it will be impossible to break it down
further to subcontractors., From the technical point of view, the nature of the service that is required is such that the feed must be
hundred percent fault free therefore troubleshooting becomes very critical should there be a problem.
The solution only needs one point of problem solution in a live environment is critical to obtain a quick
turnaround time and mitigate against the risk of editorial and commercial imperatives., Since this will be a panel of service providers, work will be shared amongst the panel instead of one
service provider where the value of each project assigned will always be less than R30 million per
service required.
3 EVALUATION CRITERIA
3.1 Functional Evaluation
Responses will be evaluated using a predetermined set of evaluation criteria. The evaluation criteria are
designed to reflect the SABC’s requirements in terms of identifying a suitable service provider and ensure
the selection process is transparent and afford all the bidders a fair opportunity for evaluation and selection.

3.1.2 A threshold of 90 out of 100 has been set.
