6.1.2 Factors to Consider When Selecting a Contractor

Evaluation of work tenders is carried out in three stages, namely:

1. First Stage Assessment

• The evaluation is based on a set of pre-determined criteria to
decide if the tenderer is eligible for further consideration.

• Only the lowest tenders, up to several offers within a
reasonable price range, must be evaluated. Tenders whose

prices are deemed excessively high in comparison to the
Department's Estimate may be disqualified from

consideration.

• The factors to be considered are as follows: -

a) Sufficiency of tender

b) Adequacy of Mandatory Documents

c) Minimum Capital Adequacy

d) Satisfactory Current Work Performance

2. Second Stage Assessment

• Post-tender pre-qualification assessment to examine and

determine the tenderer's ability to execute and complete the

project that was tendered.

• Only some tenderers who passed the First Stage Evaluation

will be subjected to this assessment.
