System: 80/20 preference points under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022.

Stages, applied in order

1. Mandatory compliance — non-submission of any mandatory item results in immediate disqualification; the bidder must meet the specification/terms of reference and submit a full pricing proposal.
2. Price and specific goals (80/20).
3. Administrative compliance.

Points allocation

• Price: 80 points, scored with the standard comparative formula using the lowest acceptable bid as Pmin.
• Specific goals: 20 points, claimed on SBD 6.1.

Specific goals breakdown

• B-BBEE Status Level 1 to 4: 10 points, verified by a B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit submitted with the bid.
• Women-owned enterprise: 5 points, verified against the CSD.
• Enterprise owned by people with disabilities: 5 points, verified by a medical report.
• Total claimed = A + B + C.

Notes

• Bidders must state the points claimed against each goal in line with their B-BBEE status level and ownership.
• No proof submitted with the bid means the specific-goal points are treated as not claimed.
• The agency may require substantiation of any preference claim before or after adjudication.
• Consortium or joint venture bidders must attach a breakdown of contract percentage per member, ownership by race category per member, and the resulting point calculation.

Registration and tax

Required forms (one line each)

• SBD 7 (Contract Form): signed by the successful bidder on award.

Exclusions

Contract framework

Contract framework

• The General Conditions of Contract (Government Procurement, July 2011) apply, together with any special conditions of contract and further conditions finalised during contracting.
• The successful bidder must complete and sign the SBD 7 contract form.
• Prices are firm and the offer remains valid for 60 days from the closing date.

Conduct

• No news releases about the RFQ or any award may be issued without C-BRTA's consent and coordination.
• Preference points obtained fraudulently, or failure to meet the claimed specific goals, entitle the agency to disqualify the bidder, recover costs, cancel the contract and claim damages, recommend restriction from public-sector business for up to 10 years, and refer the matter for criminal prosecution.

Evaluation follows the 80/20 preference point system under the Preferential Procurement Regulations 2022, in three sequential stages: mandatory compliance, then price and specific goals, then administrative compliance.

Price — 80 points

• Scored comparatively against the lowest acceptable bid using the prescribed formula, where the bid under consideration and the lowest acceptable bid are compared proportionally.

Specific goals — 20 points

• B-BBEE Status Level 1 to 4: 10 points, on submission of a B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit with the bid.
• Women-owned enterprise: 5 points, verified on the CSD.
• Enterprise owned by people with disabilities: 5 points, verified by a medical report.
• Bidders record the points claimed for each goal on SBD 6.1; the total is the sum of the three.

Consequences

• Missing mandatory items at stage one means immediate disqualification.
• No SBD 6.1 means zero specific-goal points.
• Claims may be audited, and the agency may call for supporting proof at any stage.
