Evaluation uses the 80/20 preference point system: 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals (B-BBEE status). Price points are calculated using the formula Ps = 80(1 - (Pt - Pmin)/Pmin), where Pt is the tender price and Pmin is the lowest acceptable tender. B-BBEE points: Level 1 = 20, Level 2 = 18, Level 3 = 14, Level 4 = 12, Level 5 = 8, Level 6 = 6, Level 7 = 4, Level 8 = 2, non-compliant = 0. Bidders must submit proof of B-BBEE status (verification certificate or sworn affidavit for EMES/QSEs) to qualify for claimed points. SAWS may request further information after closing, conduct reference and background checks, and verify firm existence, track record, ownership, and personnel credentials. The bid price must be market-related; SAWS may reject bids that are not.
