substantially of acceptable quality, complete, and meets the bidding file provisions. A
substantially responsive Bid is one which conforms to all terms, conditions,
specifications and provisions of the bidding invitation file without material deviation,
exceptions, objections, conditions or reserves.
If a bid is considered not responsive by AIR ALGERIE, it will be rejected, and may not
subsequently be made responsive by correction. AIR ALGERIE shall determine whether
a bid is responsive according to the content of bid itself.
27
Evaluation and Bids Comparison:
AIR ALGERIE shall proceed to the evaluation and comparison of bids, which have been
defined as substantially responsive to BDS.
Bids compliant with bidding invitation file shall be evaluated and analyzed by a
Committee. This evaluation will be done in two (02) stages according to the following
method:
First stage, technical evaluation: maximum 70 points.
Second stage, commercial evaluation: maximum 30 points.
First stage: technical evaluation:
Bidders whose bids meet qualification criteria (reference, ability, financial standing
etc...) and technical compliance criteria included in the bidding invitation file are eligible
to commercial bids evaluation as a second stage.
AIR ALGERIE may ask any Bidder whose technical bid meets qualification criteria; to
provide clarifications on its bid technical aspects.
Technical evaluation will be based on 04 criteria:
- References (5 points);
- Expérience in migration (10 points);
- Commonality & Integration (20 points);
- Technical Features (35 points).
Only technical bids having obtained a total of 50 points and over will be retained for the
evaluation of the corresponding commercial bids.
Bidders whose bids are qualified as non-responsive at the first technical evaluation, shall
be informed of the rejection of their Bids by writing.
Second stage: Commercial evaluation:
The evaluation of a bid by AIR ALGERIE will be based on submitted price.
The highest ranking (30 points) is given to the Lowest commercial (financial) bid.
AOIR : N° 001/DC/2016 Page 19
The ranking for other bids will be calculated as follows:
N = 30 X Mm /Mc
N = Financial rating of the bid itself
Mm = Amount of the Lowest bid
Mc = Amount of the commercial bid itself
The best bid will be the first bid in final ranking; the ranking is carried out by summing
technical and commercial (financial) points for each bidder.
In case several bids are classified at the first ranking, (same sum of points), the lowest
commercial bid will be accepted.
F – SUBSEQUENT VERIFICATION AND AWARD OF THE CONTRACT
28
Subsequent verification:
AIR ALGERIE has the right to ensure that the awarded bidder, who submitted a
responsive bid qualified as the best bid for AIR ALGERIE, has required qualifications in
accordance with bidding invitation file provisions.
In this frame, AIR ALGERIE will proceed to tests in subsequent verification, in order to
insure that the proposed solution meets performance criteria or functionalities
specified on technical specifications.
The bidder having submitted the best bid to AIR ALGERIE won’t be awarded the contract
unless the subsequent verification is positive. Otherwise, the bid shall be rejected and
AIR ALGERIE shall examine similarly the second best bid.

Competitors Protest:
Any Bidder who challenges bidding results or reasons of rejection of his Bid, or who
protests any failure to comply with procurement rule, may lodge a detailed request

2. 13. Documents issued
The boarding pass and bag tag PECTABs used are different from station to another. In some stations, the
Ground handler uses its own documents to issue boarding pass and bag tag for AIR ALGERIE, therefore
the PECTAB is different and is configured in the system accordingly.

(On the Bidder Letter heading)
Consultation type AOIR: N° …………………dated as of…………..
To: (Name and address) Dear Sirs, I the undersigned (the Tenderer’s name) certify that I have been informed about the ethics rules
stated by AIR ALGERIE.
I agree to observe at the time of entering a bargain, concluding or executing the Contract, the
strictest professional ethics rules.
I forbid myself, under the sanctions provided by the laws and regulations in force:
- To recourse to any interference, practice, swindling or any fraudulent or collusive practice, in
order to obtain the Contract.
- To promise to offer or to give an advantage of any nature either in order to influence the AIR

ETHICS RULES
AIR ALGERIE has as a principle to ask to the Tenderers, underwriters and suppliers to comply, at the
conclusion and the execution of its Contracts, the strictest professional ethics rules. In pursuance of
this principle, AIR ALGERIE:
a. Defines, in order to apply this provision , the following expressions:
Is guilty of “corruption” anyone offering, giving, applying or accepting any advantage in order
to influence an AIR ALGERIE Agent during a Contract granting or execution, and
Anyone practicing “swindling” or fraudulent practice, deforming or distorting facts in order to
influence the practice granting or execution in a manner causing prejudice to AIR ALGERIE. “
The swindling” also combines any agreement or collusive act of the Tenderers ( before or
after the Tenderer handing over) aiming to maintain artificially the Offers price to levels non
corresponding to those resulting from a free end opened competition, and thus depriving AIR
ALGERIE from the advantages of this later.
b. Shall reject the Contract granting proposal in case it establishes that the Tenderer to which it is
recommended to grant the Contract, is guilty of corruption or has practiced swindling in order to
get the said Contract.
c. Shall exclude indefinitely a firm or for a determined period from any granting, if AIR ALGERIE
established at any moment that this Firm has practiced corruption, swindling in view of getting
the Contract.
The intervening parties in the Contract drawing up proceedings must show independence towards the competitors and shall not accept from them no advantage represented in gratification and must not have relations with them that would compromise their objectivity and impartiality.
