Scoring uses the 80/20 preference system for quotations from R2 000 to below R50 000 000 including VAT: price carries 80 points (lowest acceptable price scores the maximum) and specific goals carry 20 points.
Specific goals points: ownership by HDIs at 51% or more scores 6; ownership by Women at 51% or more scores 4; ownership by Youth at 51% or more scores 4; ownership by People with Disabilities at 51% or more scores 2; B-BBEE Status Level 1 to 4 scores 2; and SMME promotion under RDP goals scores 2 — 20 points in total.
Only bidders who actually claim specific goals are scored on those 20 points, and points claimed without the required proof at submission are treated as not claimed. The ARC may require a bidder to substantiate preference claims at any time.
