Evaluation is in stages: Stage One – attendance at compulsory clarification meeting (verified against attendance register); Stage Two – CIDB grading of 3SL or higher; Stage Three – functionality. Functionality score is based on: Previous Experience (60 points) – copies of Purchase Orders for structural repairs or fabrication above R450K in the past 2 years (0 copies = 0, 1 = 15, 2 = 30, 3 = 45, 4 = 60); Coded Welders (40 points) – number of coded welder performance qualification certificates (4 = 100, 3 = 75, 2 = 50, 1 = 25, 0 = 0). Minimum functionality threshold is 80 out of 100. Only tenders achieving the minimum functionality score are evaluated further under the 80/20 preference points system (applicable where value is R50 million or less, inclusive of taxes). Price points up to 80, preference points up to 20. B-BBEE level determines preference points; no verification results in zero preference points.
