The above criteria will be given a weight of 60% while financial bid will be weighted at 40%

Finance Criteria Requirement and Evaluation:

The financial proposal nearest to the costed/budgeted/QS/engineers BoQ will be awarded the maximum commercial criteria weighted score of 40%.

The reason for this criterion is that tenders that are too far below the engineers’ BOQ estimate are likely to compromise on the quality expected, while those that are too far above the engineers’ estimate (EE) would exceed the available budget for the works. The Financial Evaluation for the Desired Bid Price (DBP) will be based on the following Formula (from) which a percentage variance will be worked -

Consequently, the financial scoring will be as follows: 

•           Bid price of more than 10% variance below engineer’s estimate, - 0 points

•           Bid price of more than 10% at variance above engineer's estimate, - 0 points

•           Bid price between 0% and 5% variance below engineer’s estimate, will score a base of 35 points plus % variance below the EE (i.e. =35% + additional % saving to total = 40 points.

•           Bid price of between 6% and 10% variance below engineer’s estimate, will score a base of 30 points plus % variance below the EE (i.e. =30% + additional % saving to total = 35 points.

•           Bid price between 0% and 5% variance above engineer's estimate, will score a base of 35 points minus % variance below the EE (i.e. =35% - additional % over the EE to total = 35 points.

Bid price between 6% and 10% variance above engineer's estimate, will score a base of 30 points minus % variance above the EE (i.e. =30% - additional % over the EE to total = 30 points

All Capability and Commercial Criteria will be weighted accordingly to reflect their importance. The Financial Criteria will account for 40%. The Capability Criteria will account for up to 60% of the score.
