PART V – EVALUATION CRITERIA & PRICE BID ISSUES 1. Evaluation Criteria. The broad guidelines for evaluation of bids will be as follows:-

(a) Only those bids will be evaluated which are found to be fulfilling all the eligibility and qualifying requirements of the RFP. (b) The lowest bid will be decided upon the lowest price quoted by the particular bidder as per the price format issued alongwith the RFP. All taxes and duties quoted by the bidders will be considered. The ultimate cost to the Buyer would be the deciding factor for ranking of bids. (c) The Bidders are required to spell out the rates of Customs Duty, Excise Duty, VAT, Service Tax, etc in unambiguous terms; otherwise their offers will be loaded with the maximum rates of duties and taxes for the purpose of comparison of prices. If reimbursement of Customs duty / Excise Duty / VAT is intended as extra, over the quoted prices, the bidder must specifically say so. In the absence of any such stipulation it will be presumed that the prices quoted are vendor and final and no claim on account of such duties will be entertained after the opening of tenders. If a bidder chooses to quote a price inclusive of any duty and does not confirm inclusive of such duty so included is vendor and final, he should clearly indicate the rate of such duty and quantum of excise duty included in the price. Failure to do so may result in ignoring of such offers summarily. If a bidder is exempted from payment of Customs Duty / Excise Duty / VAT duty up to any value of supplies from them, they should clearly state that no excise duty will be charged by them up to the limit of exemption which they may have. If any concession is available in regard to rate/quantum of Customs Duty / Excise Duty / VAT, it should be brought out clearly. Stipulations like, excise duty was presently not applicable but the same will be charged if it becomes leviable later on, will not be accepted unless in such cases it is clearly stated by a bidder that excise duty will not be charged by him even if the same becomes applicable later on. In respect of the bidders who fail to comply with this requirement, their quoted prices shall be loaded with the quantum of excise duty which is

11. normally applicable on the item in question for the purpose of comparing their prices with other bidders. The same logic applies to Customs Duty and VAT also. (d) If there is a discrepancy between the unit price and the total price that is obtained by multiplying the unit price and quantity, the unit price will prevail and the total price will be corrected. If there is a discrepancy between words and figures, the amount in words will prevail for calculation of price. (e) The lowest acceptable bid will be considered further for placement of contract/ supply order after complete clarification and price negotiation as decided by the Tendering authority. The Tendering authority will have the right to award the contract to different Bidder for being lowest in particular items. The Tendering authority also reserves the right to do apportionment of quantity if it is convinced that lowest bidder is not a position to supply quantity in stipulated time. (f) Any other criteria as applicable to suit a particular case.

2. Price Bid Format . The price bid format is given at Appendix ‘C’ and bidders are required to fill this up correctly with full details. Vendors are required to mention their TIN/CST No/VAT No prominently in the quote. The tenderer will have no claim to compensation on account of increase of any duty/ tax etc. during the currency of the contract.
