Common use of Evaluation of Proposals and Bidders Clause in Contracts

Evaluation of Proposals and Bidders. The evaluation of bidders and proposals will be done in accordance with the following subsequent steps: • Verification that the bidder fulfils the Exclusion Criteria in Section 5.1 and that it is not in one of the situations covered by the exclusion criteria listed in EU Directive 2014/24/EU. • Verification that the bidder has the appropriate capacities to perform the contract based on the Selection Criteria described in Section 5.2 (only for those bidders that were not excluded based on the Exclusion Criteria). • Evaluation of the bidder based on the Award Criteria described in Section 5.3 (only for those bidders that have met the Selection Criteria). • Where individual scoring is adopted, the Evaluation Committee shall discuss scores were there are significant discrepancies prior to computing the average score for each criterion. • At the Mini-competition stage, during financial evaluation, where there is a discrepancy between the amounts in figures and in words, the amount in words shall govern. Where there is a discrepancy between the unit rate and the line-item total resulting from multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate shall govern, unless in the opinion of the Evaluation Committee there is an obviously gross misplacement of the decimal point in the unit rate, in which case the line-item total shall govern, and the unit rate shall be corrected. The proposal must comply with the GCA strategic requirements set in this RFP as a precondition to be assessed. In a case of non-compliance with the Eligibility criteria, the Bidder will be informed of the grounds for rejection without being given feedback on the content of the proposal other than on the non-compliant elements. The evaluation of proposals shall be carried out by an Evaluation Committee made up of representatives of GCA. Any attempt by a bidder to influence the evaluation committee in the process of examination, clarification, evaluation, due diligence checks, etc., to obtain information on how the procedure is progressing or to influence GCA in its decision concerning the award of the contract, will result in the immediate rejection of the bidder’s proposal. In the interests of transparency and equal treatment and without being able to modify their proposals, bidders may be required, at the sole written request of the evaluation committee, to provide clarifications within 48 hours. Requests for clarifications will only seek minor clarifications of information already submitted by the bidder. No modifications to a proposal can be sought or accepted through a request for clarification (except for the correction of arithmetical errors discovered during the evaluation of the proposal).
