Evaluation of part IV 4C.
The combined score to be allocated for Technical and Professional ability of Bidders and the weighting to be applied will be evaluated on the basis of the responses to following questions:-.
4C.1.2 – Relevant examples (80 %);
4C.9 – Available tools, plant or technical equipment (20 %)
In respect of question 4C.1.2, each Assessment Panel member will evaluate and allocate a score to each topic according to the following table:
0 - Unacceptable. Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to this criterion.
1 – Poor. The response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/ limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/ capacity/capability.
2 – Acceptable. The response is relevant and acceptable. The response demonstrates broad previous experience, knowledge and skills/ capacity/ adaptability but may lack in some aspects of similarity e.g. previous experience, knowledge or skills may not be of a similar nature.
3 – Good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/ capacity/ capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients.
4 – Excellent. The response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients.
The scores allocated to each topic will be summed and then multiplied by 2.5 to arrive at the total overall score for this question. The overall weighting of this total score will be 80 %.
In respect of question 4C.9, each Assessment Panel member will evaluate and allocate a score to each topic according to the following table:
0 - Unacceptable. Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to this criterion.
0 - Unacceptable. Is very unlikely to meet the project requirements.
1 - Poor. May fail to meet the project requirements.
2 - Acceptable. Will meet the project requirements.
3 - Good. Will clearly meet the project requirements.
4 - Excellent. Exceeds the project requirements.
The scores allocated to each topic will be summed and then multiplied by 1.25 to arrive at the total overall score for this question. The overall weighting of this total score will be 20 %.
The total weighted scores for questions 4C.1.2 and 4C.9 will then be added together to bring out an overall total score. All total scores will then be ranked in descending order.
