d o n e in writing in the manner indicated in the Chapter I. Any effort by a firm to influence
the University in the process of evaluation and/or, comparison of its proposal or contract
award decisions would result in rejection of the concerned Bidders proposal.

Evaluation of Proposal:

A two-stage procedure will be adopted f o r evaluating the Proposals r e c e i v e d . viz. a

technical evaluation and a financial evaluation. The technical evaluation will have a weightage
of 70% and the financial evaluation will have a weightage of 30%.

The Bidder(s) will be evaluated on a scale of 100. The technical offer TEO (TEO=TS+PS) will
have a maximum weightage of 70 {70% of above stated QCBS (Quality cum Cost Basis Selection)
System} and financial offer will have a maximum weightage of 30.

Firms will be ranked using a combined technical cum financial score. Under Technical Evaluation,
Maximum 60 marks shall be for technical proposal/parameters and 40 marks will be for
presentation cum Proof of Concept.
Financial bid of only those firms securing the minimum qualifying marks of 70 out of a total
of 100 in the technical bid evaluation (including presentation) shall be opened.

The Scoring methodology is as below:

a. Each responsive proposal will be given a technical score (TS). A proposal shall be rejected

at this stage if it does not respond to important aspects of the Terms of Reference or if

it fails to achieve the minimum technical score indicated in this E-NIT.

b. The organization that are called for presentation/POC shall be given marks out of 40
towards presentation. The committee e n t r u s t e d w i t h t h e r e s p o n s i b i l i t y t o
e v a l u a t e t h e p r e s e n t a t i o n s w o u l d m a r k t h e m a c c o r d i n g l y . The Committee
would have the right not to declare the criteria used by it in marking the presentations.
c. Total marks of TS and PS will be calculated.

The lowest financial Proposal (LF) will be given a financial score (FS) of 100 points i.e. 30 marks.

11
The Bidder(s) will be evaluated on a scale of 100. The technical offer TEO (TEO=TS+PS) will have
a maximum weightage of 70 {70% of above stated QCBS (Quality cum Cost Basis Selection)
System} and financial offer will have a maximum weightage of 30.

The financial score (FS) of proposals will be determined using the formula: FS = 30 x LB/PB,

where LB is the lowest financial bid & PB is the financial bid of the particular bidder. Financial

score (FS) obtained will be added to the scores on technical offer (TEO) to arrive at a

consolidated score (CS). The bidder with the highest Consolidated Score (CS) will be selected.

If there is a tie in the CS, the vendor having a higher score on the technical offer (TS) will be

selected.

Example (1):- If a firm B scores 45 marks in technical bid and 34 marks in a presentation, then
total marks of the firm shall be 45+34 i.e. (TS+PS) = 79. It means when we take 70% of 79
marks, it comes to 55.3 marks which shall be TEO of the firm. Now, after opening the financial
bid, if the firm has not quoted the lowest rates, say it has quoted Rs. 25 Lacs (as mentioned
in above example where Rs. 20 Lacs were quoted lowest by one firm) then that firm will get
30X20/25 i.e. 24 marks towards FS. Then, consolidated score (CS) of the firm shall be
55.3+24=79.3 as per above formula of FS = 30 x LB/PB.
In this situation, the firm A shall qualify for the purchase order which shall be given by the
university to them as firm A has secured more consolidated marks.

EVALUATION OF TECHNICAL PROPOSAL:

The Tendering Authority will first undertake a preliminary evaluation of the technical
Proposals to check compliance with the s t i p u l a t e d eligibility criteria a s l a i d o u t i n
t h i s d o c u m e n t . I n d o i n g s o , i t w o u l d e x a m i n e the completeness of the
Proposals and verify, if it is duly signed or not and also whether or not the Proposal is generally
in order. Proposals found to be non-responsive or falling short of meeting the minimum
eligibility criteria shall be summarily rejected. Technical scoring would be
undertaken for participants meeting the Pre-Qualification Criteria only.
