Evaluation sequence

• Price is scored using the 80/20 formula against the lowest acceptable bid.
• Preference points are awarded only where the required proof or documentation is submitted with the bid; without it, specific-goals points are treated as not claimed.
• PSETA may require a bidder to substantiate any preference claim before or after adjudication.
• PSETA reserves the right to negotiate price.

Bids are evaluated on the 80/20 preference point system: 80 points for price and 20 points for specific goals, applied once the minimum functionality criteria are met.

Specific-goals points are claimed on SBD 6.1 and supported by the certified director identity documents submitted with the bid, which are required to claim disability points.

Bidders that do not submit the required proof with the bid are treated as not claiming specific-goals points.
