4. Bid Evaluation

4.1 Bids shall be evaluated in accordance with the principles defined in I.E.Co.'s invitation letter.

next stage of the tender.

4.3 The paragraphs classified (M) and (L) are mandatory. An unmet requirement, an unclear answer, or an ambiguous answer for this components will disqualify the proposal.

4.4 The paragraphs classified (S) and paragraphs classified (L) shall be graded.

5. Requirement's Classification

5.1 The components of the requirements are classified as follows:

5.1.1 Information (I): A component included for information purposes only. The expected response from the bidder is “Have read, have understood, and accept.” Any remarks or reservations by the bidder must be included in the response.

5.1.2 General (G):

A component that can be handled with a general answer in a relatively free format. Usually this is an “open” section in the RFP — a section where creative suggestions and solutions may be introduced . Nonetheless, when all is said and done, the requirement must be clearly addressed, the principal features must be emphasized, and it must be clear what exactly is offered under this and what is promised or suggested.

5.1.3 Specific (S):

A component that requires an exact and detailed response, in a precise format as required by the RFP — for example, by completing a table, attaching certificates, etc. Usually this is a “closed” section of the RFP — a section where some information is mandatory and more may be added. Additions are to be treated according to the guidelines for General components. If the information is voluminous, it should be added as a properly numbered appendix.

5.1.4 Mandatory (M):

A Go/No-Go component. (What is especially “mandatory” is the content in the response, not the act of responding). Responding to all components is


22

mandatory. The expected response from the bidder is “Have read, have understood, accept, and can do,” or a complete and salient answer as for Specific components, or the fulfillment of a requirement (for example, the inclusion of a certificate), or a guarantee — whichever is appropriate to the component. A missing answer, an inappropriate answer, an unmet requirement, an unclear answer, or an ambiguous answer for this component will disqualify the proposal.

5.1.5 Least – (L):

Threshold Component (Go\No Go), which determines the minimal acceptance level. The type of answers required is the same as for component S. Similar to that of component M the lack of answer, an answer which does not either related to or meet the requirements, or an unclear, equivocal answer to a section of this type, will automatically invalidate the proposal.

5.2 The classification of a component applies to all its subcomponents, unless otherwise stated for the subcomponent. In other words, the classification of any component is either the classification explicitly applied to it or, if no classification is explicitly applied to it, the classification of the component hierarchically above it.

6. (M) Manufacturer's Statement:

6.1.This statement as attached in annexure E must be attached to the proposal, filled in and signed by the Bidder.
