Evaluation Criteria
Source: Tender NC 01 Security Services NC.pdf (TENDER)Preference point system: 80/20 (anticipated value not exceeding R50 million incl. VAT).
Evaluation is based on price (maximum 80 points) and specific goals (maximum 20 points).
Specific goal points are awarded according to the bidder's B-BBEE status level:
B-BBEE level verification: only valid SANAS-accredited certificates, CIPC certificates, or sworn affidavits are accepted.
The lowest acceptable bid gets full price points; others are scored proportionally.
Points are rounded to two decimals. In a tie, the bidder with higher specific-goal points wins; if still tied, the winner is drawn by lot.
The successful bidder must be tax compliant and registered on the CSD at the time of award, and must satisfy the Electoral Commission's due diligence on capacity and capability.
Bidders that intend subcontracting more than 25% of the contract value to an entity with a lower B-BBEE status than themselves will not be awarded points for specific goals.
