Technical references
i- Market award
The technical offer will be scored out of 70 points, and the financial offer will be scored out of 30 points, and the total of both will be out of 100 points. Technical offers that have not reached a minimum of 50 points will be immediately rejected.
Offers that have passed the technical evaluation will proceed to the next phase.
The formula used to establish the financial scores is as follows:
Let Sf = 100 x Fm / F
Sf: the financial score;
Fm: the lowest financial proposal
and F the amount of the considered financial proposal.
The respective weights attributed to the technical and financial proposals are:
T = 70
And P = 30
T+P = 100
The overall score is obtained through the following formula:
S = St x T% + Sf x P%
St: technical score
Sf: financial score
The candidate with the highest overall score will be retained.
