Use the official forms provided—do not re-type or alter them. Mandatory returnable documents (e.g., SBD1, SBD4, SBD6.1) must accompany the bid; failure to submit these will result in automatic disqualification. Bids must comply with the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act, 2000, and PRASA’s General Conditions of Contract. Do not canvass PRASA employees between the closing date and award.

Evaluation is a two-stage process: Stage 1 (Compliance) and Stage 2 (Price and Specific Goals). Stage 1A: Mandatory Requirements - Failure to submit the following results in automatic disqualification: quotation on company letterhead. Stage 1B: Other Mandatory Requirements - Failure to submit the following may result in disqualification unless rectified within 3 working days: valid SARS TCS PIN, completed RFQ documentation (including all declarations), CSD supplier registration number. Stage 2: Scoring - Price (80 points) and Specific Goals (20 points). Price scoring uses the 80/20 preference point system formula: Ps = 80(1 − (Pt−Pmin)/Pmin), where Ps = points for price, Pt = tender price, Pmin = lowest acceptable tender price. Specific Goals: 10 points for B-BBEE Level 1 or 2 (submit SANAS-approved certificate or affidavit; consolidated scorecard accepted for JVs). 10 points for at least 51% black women ownership (submit certified copies of owner IDs, not older than 3 months). Bids must also pass administrative responsiveness tests (completeness, returnable documents, certificates, and formalities).
