Stage 2 - Functional Evaluation: Bidders must meet minimum functional requirements to be evaluated further. Stage 3 - Price and Preference: Price (P) and preference points are calculated using the formula: P = Pmin / Pvalue × 100, where Pmin = Rand value of lowest acceptable bid. Total points: 20 for price (80 points) and 20 for preference (20 points) — note: the text indicates 'Total 20 points' but the breakdown suggests 80/20 split; the document states 'Total 20 points' which may be an error.
