PART C3: EVALUATION CRITERIA

SANSA promotes the concept of “best value” in the award of contracts, as opposed to

merely looking for the cheapest price, which does not necessarily provide the best value.

Best value incorporates the expertise, experience and technical proposal of the

organisation and individuals who will be providing the service and the organisational

capacity supporting the project team.

SANSA is committed to achieving the government’s transformation objectives in terms of

the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act.

The value of this bid is estimated to not exceed R50 000 000.00 (all applicable taxes

included) and therefore the 80/20 system shall be applicable.

The procedure for the evaluation of responsive tenders is Price, functionality (quality) and

Preference method. The evaluation of the bids will be conducted in the following two

stages:

• Firstly, the assessment of quality will be done in terms of the evaluation criteria

(Table 1) and the minimum threshold of 85 points explained below. A bid will

be disqualified if it fails to meet the minimum threshold for functionality as per

the bid invitation

• Thereafter, only the qualifying bids are evaluated in terms of the 80/20

preference points systems, where the 80 points will be used for price only and

the 20 points will be awarded to a bidder for attaining the specific goals in
