The south african bureau of standards (sabs) invites service providers to facilitate training for laboratory employees, covering good laboratory practice (glp) and laboratory operations management. The contract is awarded under the 80/20 preference point system, with 80 points for price and 20 for specific goals, and bidders must achieve a minimum functionality score of 70% to proceed. The most consequential consideration is meeting the mandatory functionality threshold, as only bidders scoring at least 70% will be evaluated for preference points.
Mandatory requirements: Bidders must provide a CSD registration report, a valid B-BBEE certificate or sworn affidavit (to claim specific goals), SBD 4 Bidders Disclosure Form, and SBD 6.1 Preference Points Claim Form.
Functionality threshold: Bidders must score at least 70% on functionality criteria (including programme outline, methodology, and references) to be evaluated further; the 80/20 preference point system applies.
Preference points: 80 points for price and 20 for specific goals; specific goals include black ownership (e.g., 100% black ownership = 6 points, 51-99% black women ownership = 4 points, 1-50.99% black women ownership = 2 points); bidders not claiming points get 0.
Quotation requirements: The quotation must be inclusive of VAT and include pricing for both Good Laboratory Practice training and Laboratory Operations Management training, plus venue costs.
Enquiries: All enquiries must be directed to [email protected] or 012 428 6691; contacting other SABS personnel may lead to disqualification.
Validity and extension: Bidders may be asked to extend the validity period of their quotations; they are not obliged to extend, but must be prepared for such requests.
Disqualification risk: Bidders must not contact any SABS personnel other than the specified contact, and must not include their own contractual terms in the quotation, as SABS will not be bound by them.
