Each tender will have its own unique evaluation criteria but all of them will require 2 basic criteria; compliance – which is all of your registrations and paperwork should be up to date and your track record which is proof of your experience and ability to do the job. Tenders are also evaluated on a preferential points system based on your bid price, B-BBEE status and the value of the tender. For tenders valued under R50m the 80/20 ratio applies and tenders valued over R50m the 90/10 ratio applies.

All tenders are evaluated on a points system. The bid with the most points out of 100 wins the bid. Depending on the value of the tender either 80 or 90 points are allocated towards evaluating the price of the bid using the formula below where the lowest price receives the most points:
• Tenders valued less than R50m:
Points for your bid price = 80 x (1 - ((Your price - lowest acceptable bid)/lowest acceptable bid))
• Tenders valued more than R50m:
Points for your bid price = 90 x (1 - ((Your price - lowest acceptable bid)/lowest acceptable bid))

Depending on the value of the tender a maximum of either 10 or 20 points are allocated towards evaluating the B-BBEE status of the company. The higher the B-BBEE level the more points are awarded using the table below. For example, a level 1 contributor will receive all 20 points while a level 4 contributor will receive 12 of the possible 20 points using the 80/20 system.

This is used for tenders valued between R30,000 and R50 million and refers to the fact that 80 of the 100 points are allocated to the price of the bid (the lowest price gets the most points) , and the remaining 20 points are allocated depending on the B-BBEE status of the company (see previous question). The 2 scores are added together and the bid with the most points is awarded the tender.

This is used for tenders valued between over R50 million and refers to the fact that 90 of the 100 points are allocated to the price of the bid (the lowest price gets the most points), and the remaining 10 points are allocated depending on the B-BBEE status of the company. The 2 scores are added together and the bid with the most points is awarded the tender.
