value.
• Ratings are tabulated.
• The highest and lowest
scores for each consultant for
each criterion are
disregarded, to help eliminate
bias.

decide as a group
• Rate is the consensus of the
PhilGEPS and website of
evaluators

furnished the results
(ranking and total
scores) after the

How QCBE is Computed

The BAC computes the

ratings of each Financial
Proposal in the following Sf = 100 X FI/F
manner:
Where:
• Lowest financial proposal
shall be given 100 points Sf – Financial Score
Fl – Lowest Financial Proposal
• Other financial proposals F – Financial Proposal Under
are scored using the Consideration
following formula:
