PROCUREMENT PROCESS

The Client understands that public procurement can be a challenging experience, with many questions being asked by the Client and detailed answers needing to be provided by the Bidders. This is to ensure that value for money is being achieved and that public money is being spend wisely.

The Client and SCAPE have used their many years of procurement experience to try and make this procurement process as easy as possible, especially for Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

To that end, for this procurement process, the Client will:

  • break this procurement into a 2-stage process to ensure that only bidders who pass Stage 1 need to spend their time, energy and resources on the more intensive Stage 2 part.
  • refrain from using acronyms where possible or will provide an explanation of the acronym within a definitions sheet at the front of each procurement document.
  • provide guidance and help on each question asked throughout the process
  • be available to answer questions via the Delta eSourcing Messaging Centre.

Answers to the selection questions and general information about the Bidder will be asked via the selection questionnaire directly in Delta eSourcing. Please make sure you save often so you do not lose any work.

The 6 (six) Bidders who pass the selection criteria and score highest on Stage 1 will pass on to Stage 2.

Following the conclusion of Stage 2, the top 3 (three) ranked Bidders who provided the most economically advantageous tenders (MEAT), i.e., the highest combined score for price and quality, will be invited to enter into the Framework with the Client.
