• Disqualification risks: late submission, incomplete/incorrect forms, missing CSD number, failure to provide tax compliance proof, or non‑submission of the preference points claim form.

• Scoring is based on an 80/20 preference point system (80 points for price, 20 points for specific goals).
• Price points are calculated using the formula: Ps = 80 × (1 − Pmin/Pt) where Pmin is the lowest acceptable bid price and Pt is the bidder’s price.
• Specific‑goal points (up to 20) are awarded for: historically disadvantaged ownership, female ownership, disability ownership, youth ownership and locality, each calculated as (percentage equity × allocated points ÷ 100).
• Proof must be attached for each specific‑goal claim (ID, registration documents, doctor’s letter, etc.). Failure to provide proof or to complete the SBD6.1 form results in zero points for specific goals.
• The lowest total score (price + specific‑goal points) determines the award, subject to meeting the minimum thresholds and compliance requirements.
