Functionality is applicable with a minimum threshold of 70% — tenderers below this are disqualified. Prices are evaluated inclusive of VAT, corrected for arithmetical errors, excluding contingencies, adjusted for variations, and compared on a Net Present Value basis. Unconditional discounts are considered; conditional discounts are applied at payment. Specific goals points are awarded per the PPPFA; failure to submit evidence for a specific goal results in 0 points for that goal but not disqualification. Objective criteria apply — Eskom may award to a tenderer other than the highest scorer if justified.
