ISSUESIssues which must be covered in bid evaluation report are:
Levels of details depend on complexity and value of procurement. Provide more explanations for large and complex packages
32
ISSUES Good practice is to determine evaluated
bids prices of especially low priced bids before rejecting them at preliminary examination on technical or commercial grounds
Price evaluation establishes whether a bid is indeed lower or not and whether it would require more careful review before rejection
33
ISSUES Rejection of low bids without evaluation of
bid prices on unjustified technical or commercial grounds has caused delays – hence apply great care in rejecting low bids and give complete information and documentation to substantiate rejection
Controversial wording or number, ambiguous deviations in bid to be highlighted and relevant pages from bids should be attached
34
ISSUES Provide cross referencing between text
and attachments Large arithmetical corrections to be
explained especially if the ranking order changes or large upward revision occurs due to correction and winner remains the winner – extracts from bid for such correction should be attached
35
ISSUES Defects in bid security to be elaborated
and acceptability or otherwise explained in terms of bidding document - copy of bid security should be attached
After bid opening do not ask for clarification which will change price or substance of bid (except on arithmetical correction or missing historical information on qualification)
36
ISSUES List all criteria for bid evaluation in addition to
price with corresponding clause numbers from bidding documents
Where multiple lots, application of cross discounts should be highlighted and explained with reference to evaluation criteria in bidding document
Detailed technical and commercial evaluation tables to be attached, and each item commented against specified conditions/technical parameters
Rejection of lower evaluated priced bids to be explained in sufficient detail
37
ISSUES Conduct post qualification of the lowest
evaluated bidder (and if this bidder is not qualified, of the next ranked) to be given by attaching a table giving information on bidder’s qualifications against each of the specified criteria
In case of prequalification, check if the recommended bidder continues to meet key qualification criteria
38
ISSUES If lowest evaluated bidder is not qualified
and rejected give details and documentation supporting rejection e.g. provide relevant pages of financial statement/evidence of having not completed a similar work (preferably attach extract from bid containing list of all contracts)
Minutes of bid opening should be signed by bidder on page containing information on prices read out and it should be attached with bid evaluation report
39
ISSUES While opening bids read aloud all items as
per instructions in bidding documents including discounts - recurrent costs - guaranteed parameters such as efficiency, etc. as applicable
Proposed contract amount and currency should be carefully checked - Evaluated bid price may not be the contract price as for example cost of missing items may have been added for evaluation purposes but such costs are not part of contract to be awarded
40
ISSUES Complaints received should be highlighted
with: (I) explanation on each point of the complaint; (II) Relevant provisions of bidding document;
and (III) correspondence from the complainant and responses given

Items below were case studies (prepared by Gus Litvak) not used in this session in Zagreb…..

Case 1Procurement of a school. Estimated cost is $3,000,000 equivalent.
Completion expected to use facilities on September 1, 2007 (school year begins on September 20).
1. Bid A $2,700,000. Completion on October 15, 2007. Window frames (estimated at 40,000) in BoQ are red instead of specified blue. Bid security amount $30,000 instead of required $31,000. Bidder meets qualification criteria.
2. Bid B $2,900,000. Completion on time. Parking lot not included in bid with clear indication that it is not deemed included in other unit prices. Estimate of parking lot is $150,000. Bidder meets qualification criteria.
3. Bid C $3,500,000. Everything in order.
EVALUATE THE BIDS!

CASE 2Procurement of suspension bridge over the River
Congo. Bidder AAA is denied qualification because the JV of X and Y does not meet the requirement that each partner must meet 25% of all the requirements. X is the world leader in suspension bridges, but has no experience in hydraulic foundations. Y is a world class specialist in hydraulic foundations (caissons, pilings, pylons) but has no experience on suspension bridges.
Comment on Borrower’s decision.
51
CASE 3
Procurement of 50 km rural roads in the province of NANANA. Engineer’s estimate is US$2,000,000. Five bids received, of which lowest was $2,550,000. Borrower writes to Bank explaining that a recent contract in LALALA, an adjoining province, resulted in prices even lower than the estimate, and therefore he believes collusion as occurred. Borrower proposes re- bidding.
What should the Bank respond?
52
CASE 4Procurement of a Hospital.Lowest Bidder is disqualified on the grounds that
his performance on an ongoing contract with the Ministry of education has been abysmal. Bidder complains to the Bank explaining that most of the difficulties are not his fault, and that he has not received any formal notification of the employer giving him notice due to poor performance.
What should the Bank do?
53
CASE 5
The Borrower has some misgivings about the veracity of some of the affirmations of a bidder concerning experience, performance, and litigation. But the Borrower, rather unsophisticated, and short of resources doesn’t know how to verify the information, and asks Bank for advice on how to proceed.
PLEASE PROVIDE A BANK”S REPLY.

Case Study 6The Joint Venture DEF International, from Germany, and FHJ, an XYZ
National Works corporation, jointly submitted a request for pre-qualification for the construction of a large warehouse. The information regarding the formation of the joint venture was not complete. On this basis, the evaluation committee determined that DEF/HIJ should be disqualified.
Do you agree? Explain.
