How price points are scored
Tenders up to R50 million use the 80/20 system: up to 80 points for price and 20 for specific goals. Above R50 million it is 90/10. The lowest acceptable price scores full price points; a higher price scores Ps = 80 × (1 − (Pt − Pmin) ÷ Pmin), or 90 × the same.
Specific goals points are set out in the tender document, often by B-BBEE level or ownership. Enter what you would claim.
Worked example
On a R5 million tender (80/20), you price at R1.1 million against a lowest price of R1 million. Your price points are 80 × (1 − 0.1) = 72. With 18 specific goals points your total is 90. A bidder at R1 million with 10 goals points scores 90 too: it is a tie.
