EVALUATION PROCESS (CONTINUED) 7.4 Phase 2: Evaluation of bids based on Functionality Criteria 7.4.1 The aim of this exercise is to evaluate all bids received based on Functionality as a criterion

in accordance with the tender requirements. 7.4.2 Evaluation criteria as set out hereunder are designed to ensure conformity with Tshwane

University of Technology’s bid requirements. 7.4.3 To assist respondents, a synopsis of the evaluation form which will be utilized by the

Tshwane University of Technology’s evaluation team, indicating the evaluation criteria, weights, applicable values and/or minimum qualifying score for functionality, is provided in this tender document.

7.4.4 A bidder that fails to obtain the minimum the qualifying score for functionality as indicated in this tender document is not an acceptable tender and will not be considered for evaluation under Phase 3.

7.4.5 Each tender that obtains the minimum qualifying score for functionality will be evaluated further in Phase 3, in terms of price, preference points and other matters specified below.

7.5 Phase 3: Evaluation in terms of 90/10 preference point system 7.5.1 Only bids that achieved the minimum qualifying score/percentage for functionality will be

considered further in terms of the Phase 3 preference points scoring system. 7.5.2 The weightings to be utilized in calculating points scored for the Phase 3 preference points

scoring system will be: 7.5.3 Up to 90 Points for Price; 7.5.4 Up to 10 Points for the B-BBEE status level of contribution of the tenderer. 7.5.4.1 Step 1 will be the calculation of points for price, where the lowest priced bid will score 90

points for price, while bids with higher prices will score lower points for price on a pro-rata basis.

7.5.4.2 The following formula will be utilized to calculate the points for price in respect of tenders with a Rand value above R 1 000 000 (all applicable taxes included):

Ps = 90 (1 −Pt − P min

P min)

Where:

Ps = Points scored for comparative price of proposal or offer under consideration;

Pt = Comparative price of proposal or offer under consideration; and

Pmin = Comparative price of lowest acceptable proposal or offer. 7.5.5 Step 2 will be the calculation of points for the B-BBEE status level of contribution, where 10

points will be awarded to a bidder for attaining the B-BBEE status level of 1, and lower points will be awarded to bidders with lower B-BBEE status levels, as per table below:

B-BBEE Status Level of Contributor Number of Points

1 10

2 9

3 8

4 5

5 4

6 3

7 2

8 1

Non-compliant contributor 0

Note: Non-compliant contributors or bidders which fail to provide certification substantiating the B-BBEE status level of contribution be awarded zero (0) for B-BBEE preference points.

7.5.6 The points scored for price (step 1) will be added to the points scored for B-BBEE status level of contribution (step 2) to obtain the bidder’s total points scored out of 100.
