Technical Score of the respective proposal of bidder under consideration, as determined
through the above marks table.
Example:
Bidder A scores 90 marks and Bidder B scores 85 marks.

The normalized score of Bidder B is 85/90 x 100 = 94.4
13.7 Financial Bid Evaluation Criteria
The formula for determining the normalized financial scorings:
Sf =100 x Fm/F

F the Total Contract Price (net of ITC on GST) of the respective proposal of bidder under
consideration
Example:
Bidder A quotes 500Million and Bidder B quotes 600 Million.
The normalized score of Bidder A is 500/500 x 100 = 100.
The normalized score of Bidder B is 500/600 x 100 = 83.3
13.8 Overall Technical & Financial Bid Evaluation
Final score of bidder shall be evaluated based on the following formula:
FS=St x t + Sf x f
where
FS= Final Score of the bidder
St = Normalized Technical Score of the bidder
Sf = Normalized Financial Score of the bidder
t = Technical Weightage (70%)
f = Financial Weightage (30%)
Example:
The overall scores of the Bidders in the examples in 13.6 and 13.7 are as follows:
Bidder A: 100 x 0.7 + 100 x 0.3 = 100
Bidder B: 94.4 x 0.7 + 83.3 x 0.3 = 91.07

Score (Sf), the bidder shall be ranked in terms of the Final Score (FS) obtained. The
19
 bid/proposal obtaining the highest Final Score (FS) will be ranked First (R-1) followed by
the proposals securing lesser marks as R-2, R-3, etc. The bid/proposal securing the
highest Final Score (FS) will be successful bidder.
In the event two or more bidders have the same scores in the final ranking, the bidder
with the highest technical score should be ranked first. In case of tie in technical scores,
the bidder who has successfully completed more number of assignments within
preceding 7(seven) years shall be ranked first.
