CC. Tender Evaluation

Ministry of Health will examine the Tenders to determine whether they are complete, any
arithmetical errors have been made, the documents have been properly signed and
stamped, and the Tenders are generally in order.

A specialized committee from the Ministry of Health will conduct the evaluation of Tenders,
as follows:

 The first part will be the evaluation of the Tenderers’ Technical and Design Proposals.
The committee will rank accordingly those tenders, which are technically qualified. The
evaluation criteria for the Technical Proposal is inserted in the next page.

 The Tenderer should pass and exceed 70 points in order to be considered Technically
Qualified.

 Only those tenders, which are Technically Qualified will be considered part of the final
recommendation upon assessment of financial offers.

 The second part of the evaluation will be based on the Tenderers’ Financial Proposals.
Likewise, the Tenderers’ Financial Proposal would be ranked independently / separately
from the Technical rankings.

 The overall ranking will be based on sum of percentages of the technical (70%) and
financial (30%) evaluation raw scores of the Tenderers as shown on the table below, but
only Technically Qualified Tenderers who have reached 70 RTS marks are to be
considered for award recommendation:

TENDERER RAW TECHNICAL RAW FINANCIAL TECHNICAL FINANCIAL FINAL SCORE RANK
SCORE (RTS) SCORE (RFS) SCORE (70% of SCORE (30% WEIGHTAGE BASED ON

Tenderer 2 As per technical (T1 price / T2 (70% x RTS T2) (30% x RFS TS + FS (T2) 2
(T2) evaluation price) x 100 / 100 T2) / 100
Tenderer 3 As per technical (T1 price / T3 (70% x RTS T3) (30% x RFS TS + FS (T3) 3
(T3) evaluation price) x 100 / 100 T3) / 100

 The Contract will be awarded to the best Technically Qualified Tenderer whose Tender
has a reasonable price (not necessarily the lowest) based on the above final weightage
scoring matrix, who is substantially responsive to the requirements of the Tender
Documents and who satisfies the post-qualification requirements of the Instructions to
