to Proceed
Preliminary Examination of
Technical Proposal
• Opening the Technical
Envelopes which contain
the Technical Proposal to
ascertain compliance with
the submission
requirements
• A non-discretionary “pass/fail” criteria
shall be used
• A checklist of required documents shall
be used
Evaluation of Bids
• After Preliminary Examination of Technical

Proposals, BAC conducts Detailed Evaluation
of the Technical Proposals
• Purpose is to determine the Highest Rated Bid

(HRB), by:
1. Detailed evaluation of bids of short listed
consultants using numerical ratings based on
the Quality-Based Evaluation (QBE) or Quality-
Cost Based Evaluation procedure (QCBE); and
2. Ranking of bidders based on numerical ratings
from highest to lowest
Evaluation of Bids
• QBE is applied for:

1. Complex or highly specialized
assignments for which it is difficult to
precisely define the TOR and the required
inputs from the consultants
2. Assignment can be carried out in
substantially different ways, such that the
proposals are not comparable
• QCBE is applied in all other cases

Evaluation of Bids
• Quality –Based Evaluation (QBE)
– Simultaneous submission of both Technical and
Financial proposals in separate sealed envelopes
– Considers only the Technical Proposals in the ranking of
consultants
– Considered as 2-Stage Procedure, where Technical
proposals shall be evaluated first and the consultants
ranked, before the Financial Proposal of the bidder with
the HRB is opened
– First-in-rank consultant shall be invited for contract and
financial negotiations. If financial negotiations with the
Consultant with the highest technical score fails, the
procuring entity shall negotiate with the Consultant with
the second highest technical score
– The financial proposal shall not exceed the ABC
– The Financial Proposal shall be deemed to include the
cost of all taxes, duties, levies, and other charges

Evaluation of Bids (QBE)
• Bids are rated numerically. This is done either

– Individually – Each BAC member assigns
numerical rates to a proposal (ranging from 1 to
100), these rates are tabulated, and then the
highest and lowest rates are disregarded. This
step is done to remove the possibility of 1 BAC
member unduly influencing the results of the
bidding
– Collegially – The BAC members evaluate the

proposals, deciding as a group. The rate
obtained by a proposal is the consensus of the
BAC members involved in the evaluation
• Example of Bases of Technical Evaluation:

– Quality of Personnel - 10%
– Experience and Capability of the Consultant - 30%
– Plan of Approach and Methodology - 60%
• Note: The BAC shall assign numerical weights

to each of the above criteria indicated in the
bidding documents
Criteria – Quality of Personnel/Project Staff
• Education Factor
• Number of Project Staff/
Project Staffing and
Organization
• Technical Certification
• Technical Training
Criteria – Experience and Capability of
Consultants
• Client Base
• Business/Working Experience
• Project Personnel to Total
Personnel Ratio
• Equipment/Available Tools to
Manpower Ratio
• Reference Sites (similar
projects)/Prototype
Criteria – Plan of Approach and
Methodology
• Prototype/Demonstration of Similar
Project/System
• Description of Project/Solution Components
• Development Methodologies
• Project Development Strategy/Schedule
