  • Supplier Code of Conduct with Sworn Statement and Vendor’s Primary Information (Annexure-2);

To assist in the examination, evaluation and comparison of Proposals, the Purchaser may at its discretion, ask the Offeror for clarification of its Proposal. The request for clarification and the response shall be in writing and no change in price or substance of the Proposal shall be sought, offered or permitted.

Preliminary examination

The Purchaser will examine the Proposals to determine whether they are complete, whether any computational errors have been made, whether the documents have been properly signed, and whether the Proposals are generally in order.

Arithmetical errors will be rectified on the following basis: If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price shall prevail and the total price shall be corrected. If the Offeror does not accept the correction of errors, its Proposal will be rejected. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures the amount in words will prevail.

Prior to the detailed evaluation, the Purchaser will determine the substantial responsiveness of each Proposal to the Request for Proposals (RFP). For purposes of these Clauses, a substantially responsive Proposal is one which conforms to all the terms and conditions of the RFP without material deviations. The Purchaser’s determination of a Proposal’s responsiveness is based on the contents of the Proposal itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence.  A Proposal determined as not substantially responsive will be rejected by the Purchaser and may not subsequently be made responsive by the Offeror by correction of the non-conformity.

Evaluation and comparison of proposals

A two-stage procedure is utilized in evaluating the proposals, with evaluation of the technical proposal being completed prior to any price proposal being opened and compared.  The financial proposals will be opened only after the respective bidder has passed the minimum technical score of 70% of the obtainable score of 100 points in the evaluation of the technical proposals. The technical proposal is evaluated on the basis of its responsiveness to the Term of Reference (TOR).

In the Second Stage, the financial proposal of all contractors, who have attained minimum 70% score in the technical evaluation, will be compared.

The final evaluation shall be done applying quality and cost based selection (QCBS) procedure. Setting the total score of 100, 70% weight is given in Technical Proposal and 30% weight is given in Financial Proposal. In the case of QCBS, the lowest evaluated (Technical proposal obtained score 70% and higher) Financial Proposal will be given the maximum Financial Points of 100. The Financial Points of the other Financial Proposals will be computed accordingly.
The point of financial proposal shall be computed using formula:

Here:
Fp = Financial Score of Offeror being evaluated
Fm = Lowest Financial proposal among technically qualified Offerors
F = Financial Proposal of Offeror being evaluated

Combined score shall be calculated using formula mentioned below:
 

Here:
CS = Combined Score
TS = Score obtained from Technical Proposal

Contract shall be awarded to the highest combined (Technical and Financial) score obtained Offeror.

Technical Evaluation Criteria

The technical part of the proposals will be evaluated on the basis as detailed below:

  • Understanding the survey work i.e. (a) understanding the objectives, (b) quality of methodology, (c) innovativeness, (d) work programme, (e) comments on TOR and (f) presentation of proposal.
