18. Bid security


 
18.1. When participating in bidding online, the bidder must implement the bid security measures before the bid closing time in one or more forms of a guarantee letter issued by the legal representative of a domestic credit institution or a branch of a foreign bank established under Vietnamese law or a guarantee insurance certificate from a non-life insurance company in Vietnam, or a branch of a non-life insurance company established under Vietnamese law. In cases where the bid security amount is less than 20 million VND, it shall be implemented according to the provisions in Section 18.8 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering. For paper-based bid guarantees or insurance guarantee certificates, the bidder must scan (scan) the guarantee letter from the bank or the insurance guarantee certificate and attach it when submitting the Electronic Pre-qualification application. For electronic bid guarantees, the bidder selects the electronic bid guarantee issued and stored in the System. If the Electronic Pre-qualification application is extended according to the provisions in Section 17.2 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering, the validity of the bid security must also be extended accordingly. For joint venture bidders, the joint venture members must use the same form of bid security: electronic bid guarantee or paper-based.
In the case of a joint venture, bid security measures must be implemented in one of the following two ways:
a) Each member of the joint venture will separately provide bid security, but the total value of the guarantees must not be lower than the requirements stipulated in Section 18.2 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering; if the bid security of one member of the joint venture is determined to be invalid, the Electronic Pre-qualification application of that joint venture will not be considered or evaluated further. If any member of the joint venture violates legal regulations that lead to the bid security value not being refunded according to the provisions in point b of Section 18.5 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering, the bid security value of all members in the joint venture will not be refunded;
b) The members of the joint venture agree that one member will be responsible for implementing bid security measures for that member and for other members in the joint venture. In this case, the bid security may include the name of the joint venture or the name of the member responsible for implementing bid security for the members in the joint venture, but the total value must not be lower than the requirements stipulated in Section 18.2 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering. If any member of the joint venture violates legal regulations leading to the bid security value not being refunded according to the provisions in point b of Section 18.5 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering, the bid security value of all members in the joint venture will not be refunded.
18.2. The value, currency, and duration of the bid security are specifically stipulated in Electronic Bidding Document List, in the case of procurement packages for goods that are centrally procured based on the bidder's ability to supply, ensuring that the bid security corresponds to the bid price mentioned in the bid after any discounts (if any) at the bid security rate stipulated in Electronic Bidding Document List. The duration of the bid security is calculated from the bid closing date to the last day of validity of the bid security (the end of the validity of the bid security falls within the last day of the validity of the bid security without needing to extend to the end of 24 hours of that day).
18.3.

a) Bidders participating in the bidding who are eligible for more than one type of preference in evaluating capacity and experience or in financial assessment can only benefit from the most favorable preference corresponding to each content of capacity and experience assessment or financial assessment.
b) In cases where all bidding bidders receive the same preference or all bidders are not eligible for any preferences, there is no need to calculate preferences for comparison and ranking.
c) The bidder must prove that they, the goods, and services they offer are eligible for preference as stipulated in Clause 1, Article 10 of the Bidding Law.
d) The bidder will receive preferences when providing goods that have a domestic production cost accounting for from 30% or more.

28.3. The calculation of preferences is carried out during the evaluation of the Electronic Pre-qualification application for comparison and ranking of Electronic Pre-qualification applications: Goods can only benefit from preferences when the bidder proves that the goods have a domestic production cost accounting for 30% or more of the goods price.  Determining whether goods are produced in Vietnam can use either direct or indirect formulas as follows:
Direct formula: D (%)  =  G*/G x 100%
Indirect formula: D (%)  =  (G - C)/G x 100%
Where:
G*: The domestic production cost
G: The bid price of the goods in the Electronic Pre-qualification application excluding tax; for a manufacturer bidder, G is the ex-works price (EXW) of the goods
C: The value of foreign input costs, excluding taxes and fees related to imports
D: The percentage of domestic production costs of the goods. D ≥ 30% means that the goods are eligible for preferences according to the provisions in Articles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of  Decree number 24/2024/NĐ-CP.
28.4. The method of calculating preferences is carried out according to the provisions in Electronic Bidding Document List.
28.5. The bidder must declare information about the types of goods eligible for preferences according to Form 15A, 15B, and 15C in Chapter IV to serve as a basis for considering and evaluating preferences. If the bidder does not declare, their goods will be considered ineligible for preferences.
28.6. In cases where the goods offered by the bidders do not qualify for preferences, there will be no evaluation or determination of preference value.
 
29. Evaluation of Electronic Pre-qualification application 29.1. The contracting entity applies the evaluation method as specified in Electronic Bidding Document List to evaluate the Electronic Pre-qualification application.
29.2. Based on the Electronic Pre-qualification application submitted by the bidders on the System and the evaluation method for Electronic Pre-qualification application specified in Section 29.1 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering, the contracting entity selects one of the two evaluation processes for Electronic Pre-qualification application stipulated in Section 29.3 or Section 29.4 of this document to appropriately evaluate the Electronic Pre-qualification application.
29.3. Process 1 (applied to the “evaluation price” and “lowest price” methods):
a) Step 1: Evaluate validity as stipulated in Section 1 Chapter III
- The system automatically evaluates based on the bidder's commitments in the bid regarding the following contents:
+ The bidder's eligibility;
+ In the 3 years prior to the bidding deadline, the bidder has no personnel (having an employment contract with the bidder at the time the personnel committed violations) who have been convicted by the court of serious violations of bidding regulations as defined by criminal law aimed at ensuring that the bidder wins the bid.
If the evaluation team finds that the bidder's commitments are not truthful, leading to a distortion of the bidder selection results, the bidder will be considered as engaging in bid fraud..
- The evaluation team assesses the validity of the bid security and the consortium agreement (in the case of a consortium).
- If the bidder is deemed satisfactory in all aspects of validity, it will be moved to assess capacity and experience.
b) Step 2: Evaluate capacity and experience as stipulated in Section 2 Chapter III
- The system automatically evaluates the following aspects: history of contract non-fulfillment, fulfillment of tax declaration and payment obligations, financial performance, average annual revenue based on the information declared, extracted in the Electronic Pre-qualification application. For the contents automatically evaluated by the system, the bidder is not required to attach documents to prove them when submitting the Electronic Pre-qualification application..
- For the content regarding similar contracts and production capacity, the evaluation team relies on the information declared by the bidder on the webform and attached documents for evaluation.
- For the content concerning key personnel, the evaluation team assesses based on the information declared by the bidder.
- If the bidder is evaluated as satisfactory in terms of capacity and experience, it will be moved to technical evaluation.
c) Step 3: Evaluate technical aspects as stipulated in Section 3 Chapter III. If the bidder is evaluated as satisfactory in technical aspects, it will be moved to financial evaluation.

d) Step 4: Evaluate financial aspects as stipulated in Section 4 Chapter III and carry out according to the provisions in Electronic Bidding Document List;
đ) Step 5: After evaluating the financial aspects, the contracting entity prepares a ranked list of bidders. The ranking of bidders is conducted according to the regulations in Electronic Bidding Document List. If there is one bidder passing the financial evaluation, there is no need to rank the bidders.
For centralized procurement applying bidder selection based on supply capacity, the ranked list of bidders is ordered from the lowest to the highest bid price after discounts (if any) calculated per unit of goods category that the bidder bids for.
e) The bidder ranked first will be invited for document verification as specified in Section 30 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering. If the bidder invited for document verification does not meet the requirements of the Electronic Bidding Document, the next ranked bidder will be invited for verification without the need to rank the bidders again.
In centralized procurement applying bidder selection based on supply capacity, the bidders invited for document verification are the combination of ranked bidders from lowest to highest ensuring that the total quantity of goods bid by the bidders is not less than the quantity of goods stated in the Electronic Bidding Document.
In the case of the bidder ranked first, the bidder may not change key personnel (personnel proposed in the Electronic Pre-qualification application or personnel who have been replaced  once according to the provisions of Clause 2 Article 27 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP), unless the evaluation period of the Electronic Pre-qualification application exceeds the expected time in the bidder selection plan or due to force majeure reasons that the proposed key personnel cannot participate in the contract execution. In that case, the bidder has the right to change to another personnel but must ensure that the personnel proposed for replacement have equivalent or higher qualifications, experience, and capacity than the proposed personnel, and the bidder is not allowed to change the bid price..
29.4. Process 2 (only applicable to the “lowest price” method and bidders, Electronic Pre-qualification application with no advantages).
a) Step 1: Rank bidders based on bid price; the bidder with the lowest bid price is ranked first. The contracting entity evaluates the Electronic Pre-qualification application of the bidder with the lowest bid price based on the bidding opening minutes on the System. In case multiple bidders have the same lowest bid price, all these bidders will be evaluated.
b) Step 2: Evaluate validity as stipulated in point a Section 29.3 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering.
c) Step 3: Evaluate capacity and experience as stipulated in point b Section 29.3 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering.
d) Step 4: Evaluate technical aspects as stipulated in point c Section 29.3 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering.
đ) Step 5: The technically compliant bidder will be invited for document verification.
If the Electronic Pre-qualification application of the bidder ranked first does not comply, the aforementioned evaluation steps will be carried out for the next ranked bidder.
29.5. Principles of Electronic Pre-qualification application evaluation:
a) For the contents evaluated automatically by the system, including eligibility, the bidder must not have personnel convicted by the court for serious violations of bidding regulations, history of contract non-fulfillment due to bidder fault, fulfillment of tax declaration obligations, payment of taxes, financial performance, average annual revenue. If the bidder does not declare information or declares it incorrectly, incompletely, not meeting the requirements of the Electronic Bidding Document, the system will evaluate the bidder as “not meeting” this content. The evaluation team cannot change the evaluation result from “not meeting” to “meeting” once the system has evaluated it as “not meeting.” If the information the bidder commits, declares in the Electronic Pre-qualification application is not truthful, resulting in a distortion of the bidder's Electronic Pre-qualification application evaluation results, the bidder will be considered as engaging in fraud;
b) In case of discrepancies between the bid security information declared by the bidder on the webform and the information in the scanned file of the bid security attached, the evaluation will be based on the information in the scanned file of the bid security (for cases applying a bid security guarantee letter or insurance guarantee certificate in paper form);
c) In case of inconsistencies between the information about similar contracts declared on the webform and the file of documents proving that information, the contracting entity will require the bidder to clarify the Electronic Pre-qualification application. If the contracts declared by the bidder and attached in the Electronic Pre-qualification application do not meet the requirements of the Electronic Bidding Document, or if the bidder does not declare, or inadequately declare similar contracts on the webform, the contracting entity will require the bidder to clarify and supplement other contracts (updated from the bidder's capacity profile on the System) to meet the requirements of the Electronic Bidding Document within a reasonable period but not less than 03 working days. If the bidder does not have contracts that meet the requirements of the Electronic Bidding Document, the bidder will be disqualified;
d) In case the key personnel proposed by the bidder in the Electronic Pre-qualification application do not meet the requirements or cannot prove their ability to mobilize personnel (including cases where personnel have been mobilized for other contracts with overlapping working periods with this contract), the contracting entity allows the bidder to supplement or replace. The bidder is only allowed to supplement or replace once for each personnel position within a reasonable period but not less than 03 working days. If the bidder does not have personnel meeting the requirements of the Electronic Bidding Document, the bidder will be disqualified. In any case, if the bidder declares untruthful personnel, the bidder cannot replace other personnel, equipment, the Electronic Pre-qualification application of the bidder will be disqualified, and the bidder will be considered to have committed fraud under the provisions of Clause 4 Article 16 of the Bidding Law and will be handled according to the regulations at point a Clause 1 Article 125 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP.
đ) For the origin of goods, in case of discrepancies between the information declared on the webform and the attached file, the contracting entity will require clarification of the Electronic Pre-qualification application;
e) For contents other than those specified in points a, b, c, d, and đ of this clause, in case of discrepancies between the information declared on the webform and the attached file, the information on the webform will be the basis for consideration and evaluation;
g) At the financial evaluation step, if the bidder does not declare information in the form about the advantages of domestically produced goods for the purpose of calculating the advantages, the bidder will not be granted any advantages;
h) The bidder invited for document verification must prepare documents for verification, demonstrating the information declared by the bidder in the Electronic Pre-qualification application. For contents concerning validity, history of non-fulfillment of contracts due to the bidder's fault, fulfillment of tax declaration obligations, payment of taxes, average annual revenue, net asset value that has been automatically evaluated by the System as "meeting" based on the declared, extracted information in the Electronic Pre-qualification application which the evaluation team re-evaluates as "not meeting", then the evaluation team will adjust the evaluation result from "meeting" to "not meeting." In this case, the contracting entity invites the next ranked bidder for document verification without having to re-rank the bidder. Regarding information on fulfilling tax declaration obligations, payment of taxes, average annual revenue, net asset value from 2021 onwards, the contracting entity will only verify if the bidder updates the information; otherwise, the information will not be verified when the information is automatically extracted by the System from the national business registration information system and electronic tax system.
30. Document Verification 30.1. The invited bidder for document verification must submit a set of documents to prove validity, capacity, and experience to the contracting entity to verify against the information declared by the bidder in the Electronic Pre-qualification application, including:
a) Original bid security (for cases using a guarantee letter or insurance guarantee certificate in paper form) or cash or a certified check according to the provisions of Section 18.8 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering;
b) For bidders who self-update tax data on the System from 2021 onwards (not extracted by the System), documentation proving compliance with tax declaration obligations and tax payment for the most recent year that aligns with the bidder's tax data on the electronic tax system.

đ) Documents proving the ability to mobilize personnel, degrees, and certificates of the personnel declared by the bidder in the Electronic Pre-qualification application;
e) Other documents (if any).
For centralized procurement applying bidder selection based on supply capacity, the bidders invited for document verification are the combination of ranked bidders from lowest to highest ensuring that the total quantity of goods bid by the bidders is not less than the quantity of goods stated in the Electronic Bidding Document.
30.2. Bidders with appropriate verification documents will be considered for winning the bid. For tax data, revenue from 2021 onwards that the bidder self-updates not aligning with the data on the electronic tax system resulting in distortion of the bidder selection results will lead to the bidder being disqualified and considered to have committed fraud as stipulated in point b of Section 4.4 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering.

Tax payment obligations refer to paying taxes corresponding to the tax value with the respective tax rate, taxable income, and revenue declared by the bidder in the electronic tax system (the tax paid corresponding to the tax owed); in cases of deferred tax payment, tax exemption, or tax reduction under state policy, this regulation applies. In cases where the System has not automatically extracted information about the bidder's tax obligations, the bidder must submit the following documents:
- Tax declaration (or payment notice from the tax authority for business households) and Payment receipt confirmed by the tax authority printed from the electronic tax system or
- Tax declaration (or payment notice from the tax authority for business households) and confirmation from the tax authority regarding tax obligations.
In cases where the bid closing date is after the end date of the bidder's fiscal year (Year Y) and before or on the last day of the third month following the end date of Year Y, the requirement to fulfill tax declaration and payment obligations applies to the fiscal year prior to Year Y (Year Y-1).
(For example: If the bid closing date is March 20, 2024, and the bidder's fiscal year is January 1 – December 31, then the bidder must prove they have fulfilled tax declaration and payment obligations for the year 2022).
(5) For bidders that are business households, this criterion is not evaluated.
(6) Specify the required time frame, usually from 03 to 05 years prior to the bid closing year. In cases where the bidder has fewer years of establishment than the required number of years by the Electronic Bidding Document, the average annual revenue (excluding VAT) is calculated based on the number of years the bidder has been established. In this case, if the average annual revenue (excluding VAT) of the bidder meets the value requirement of the Electronic Bidding Document, the bidder will still be evaluated without being disqualified.
For bidders that are business households, there is no requirement to submit financial statements, but the bidder must provide documents proving revenue corresponding to tax obligations.
In cases where the bid closing date is after the end date of the bidder's fiscal year (Year Y) and before or on the last day of the third month following the end date of Year Y, the requirement for submitting financial statements applies to the years preceding Year Y (Year Y-1, Y-2...).
Example 1: If the bid closing date is March 20, 2024, and the bidder's fiscal year is January 1 – December 31, and the Electronic Bidding Document requires the bidder to submit financial statements for the last 03 years, then the bidder must submit financial statements for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Example 2: The average annual revenue (excluding VAT) of the last 3 fiscal years compared to the bid closing date. In this case, if the bid closing date is November 15, 2024, then the bidder must submit financial statements for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. The bidder was established in 2022, but if the average revenue for the years 2022 and 2023 meets the requirement, the bidder will continue to be evaluated.
(7) The common calculation method for the average annual revenue requirement (excluding VAT):
a) In cases where the contract period is 12 months or longer, the revenue is calculated as follows:
Minimum requirement for average annual revenue (excluding VAT) = [(Contract Price – VAT value)/contract execution time in years] x k. Generally, the required coefficient “k” in this formula ranges from 1.5 to 2.
b) In cases where the contract period is less than 12 months, the revenue is calculated as follows:
Minimum requirement for average annual revenue (excluding VAT) = (Contract Price – VAT value) x k. Generally, the required coefficient “k” in this formula is 1.5.
For centralized procurement packages applying bidder selection based on capacity to supply, revenue is determined according to the above formula corresponding to the bid price (replace contract price with bid price in the formula). In this case, the investor needs to specify the coefficient “k”.

(8) For contracts where the bidder has participated as a joint venture member or subbidder, only the value of the work performed by the bidder is calculated.
(9) Specify the required time frame, typically from 03 to 05 years prior to the bid closing year. For example: from January 1, 2019 to the bid closing date.
(10) Similar in nature: goods of similar nature are those that meet 1 of the 2 criteria below: (i) Criterion 1: goods belong to the same field, type (the investor specifies the field, type, e.g., medical equipment, electrical equipment, office equipment...) or (ii) Criterion 2: goods have the same Chapter code, Group code (corresponding to the first 4 digits of the code set) in the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS – Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System) according to the Harmonized System issued by the World Customs Organization (WCO) (collectively referred to as HS code). The HS code is based on Circular No. 31/2022/TT-BTC dated June 8, 2022, of the Ministry of Finance (published by the General Department of Customs on the website: https://www.customs.gov.vn). Bidders supplying goods in the same field, type as required by the Electronic Bidding Document or with the same first 4 digits HS code are all considered to have similar nature to the goods in the bid package.
For example: if the goods in the bid package are laptops with HS code 84.71.30.20, then goods with HS code 84.71.xx.xx are considered to have similar nature. If the goods in the bid package have not been announced with HS codes, the bidder must declare contracts for supplying goods of the same field, type as required by the Electronic Bidding Document (Criterion 1).
- For medical equipment procurement packages, the HS code is determined according to Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT dated May 15, 2018, of the Ministry of Health, similar goods according to HS code (determined by criterion 2) are medical devices in the same group of goods (corresponding to the first 4 digits of the code) stipulated in Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT.
In the course of implementation, if Circular No. 31/2022/TT-BTC and Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT are amended, supplemented, or replaced, they will apply according to the amended legal documents that supplement or replace Circular No. 31/2022/TT-BTC and Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT).
- In cases where the investor or bidding party has difficulty in determining the HS code of the goods according to Criterion 2, Electronic Bidding Document can set similar regulations on the field and type (according to Criterion 1). In this case, if the bidder can determine the HS code of the goods according to the requirements of the bid package and the HS code of the goods in the item, the completed contract (accepted) in the same group (corresponding to the first 4 digits of the code), then this item and contract are considered similar for evaluation purposes (considered as the bidder meeting Criterion 2).
- In cases where the bid package has multiple items, only the HS code for the main items of the bid package is stipulated.
(11) The scale of similar contracts:
In cases where the bid package contains multiple items, the corresponding value of each item must be specified to evaluate the bidder's experience in performing similar contracts.
In cases where the bid package includes various types of goods, depending on the nature and scale of the bid package, the bidding party shall set requirements for similar scales based on the main types of goods in the bid package (must specify the main goods) or requirements for similar scales based on all types of goods in the bid package, specifying the required scale for each main item or each item. In the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large volume and quantity of bidding in the country and fewer than 03 bidders have previously performed similar contracts with a scale exceeding 70% of the scale of the bid package being considered, the requirement for the scale of similar contracts may be adjusted down to Y/1.4 and/or divide the bid package into parts (lots) to increase competitiveness for the bid package. In this case, Y is usually about 70% of the value of the bid package being considered; specifically for cases where the bid package has some items that have the same Chapter code and Group code, the determination of the scale of similar contracts is determined according to points (iii) and (iv) of this note..
For procurement packages of goods with volumes and quantities based on needs over the years and with contract execution time longer than 1 year, Electronic Bidding Document requires the value of similar contracts in 01 cycle (01 year) without determining requirements according to the total number of years.
For example: the bidding package for supplying material X for the investor's needs in the two years 2024-2025 (from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2025), with a bid package price of 100 billion VND (calculated for needs in the two years). The required value of a similar contract is: 70% x 100/2 = 35 billion VND.
The evaluation of the scale of a similar contract is based on the completed value, which is accepted as follows:
 (i) At least 01 completed contract providing all types of similar goods with a value of at least Y (or Y/1.4 if it falls under the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes) or
(ii) There are similar goods items performed in different contracts (the contracts may be completed or in progress, not yet accepted or liquidated) but ensuring that the value of each completed similar goods item meets at least 70% of the value of each goods item in the bidding package under consideration (or 50% if it falls under the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes).
Where:
+ The completed goods item is a part or the whole quantity of goods in the item that has been accepted within the stipulated time, regardless of the time of signing the contract. The time to confirm that the goods item has been completed to determine the similar goods item is the time of acceptance of the goods, not based on the time of signing the contract.
+ A completed contract is a contract where all goods have been accepted or a contract that has been liquidated. The time to confirm a completed contract to determine the similar contract is the time of acceptance of the goods, not based on the time of signing the contract.
- In cases where the bidder is both a manufacturer and a supplier (some goods or a part of the quantity of goods offered in Electronic Pre-qualification application are produced by the bidder, while other goods or parts of the quantity are purchased from other manufacturers or suppliers for the bidding package), in addition to declaring experience in implementing similar contracts, the bidder must also declare production capacity as specified in Section 4 of Table 02 of this chapter. The evaluation of the bidder's experience will be based on the contract for supplying similar goods (corresponding to the part of the goods that the bidder purchases from other manufacturers or suppliers) and the bidder's production capacity (corresponding to the part of the goods that the bidder produces to supply for the bidding package).
For centralized procurement packages, selecting bidders based on supply capability, similar contracts are determined corresponding to the volume and value of the goods that the bidder bids, ensuring that the value of each completed similar goods item meets at least 70% of the value of each goods item that the bidder offers (or 50% if it falls under the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes).
In cases where some goods items in the bidding package have the same Chapter code and Group code (code A), the evaluation of the scale of the similar contract is based on the completed value, accepted as follows:
(iii) At least 01 completed contract providing all types of similar goods with a value of at least K (or K/1.4 if it falls under the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes), where K equals 70% of the total value of items that do not have the same Chapter code, Group code (no code A) and the highest value of items that share the same code A (the item value according to the bid package price, approved estimate) or
(iv) There are similar goods items performed in different contracts (the contracts may be completed or in progress, not yet accepted, liquidated) but ensuring that the value of each similar goods item without code A performed meets at least 70% of the value of each goods item in the bidding package under consideration (or 50% if it falls under the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes), for similar goods items with the same code A, it is only required that the value of the completed similar goods item meets at least 70% of the highest value of the goods item with code A in the bidding package under consideration (or 50% if it falls under the case of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes).
* Examples for notes (10), (11):
- Example 1: The bidding package under consideration is the package to supply 500,000 single-use syringes with HS code 9018.31.10 (According to the provisions of Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT) valued at 1,000,000,000 VND and 100 ceiling surgical lamps with HS code 9405.10.20 (According to the provisions of Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT) valued at 2,000,000,000 VND. Bidder X has contract A (not yet completed, not liquidated) supplying 2 ventilators with HS code 9018.90.30, of which 1 has been delivered (accepted) with a value of 900,000,000 VND (> 70% of the value of the syringe item) and has contract B (not yet completed, not liquidated) supplying 200 surgical lights with HS code 9405.40.91, of which 80 have been delivered (accepted) with a value of 1,450,000,000 VND (> 70% of the value of the ceiling surgical lamp item) so bidder X is assessed as meeting the requirements for similar contracts of this bidding package.
"From January 1, ___ until the bidding deadline, the bidder has completed all or most of at least 01 contract for supplying similar goods with a minimum value V as the main bidder (independent or consortium member) or subbidder.”
- Example 2: The scope of supply for the bidding package is to purchase a dump truck along with 20 spare tires; the estimated value of the approved bidding package is 1.8 billion VND (of which the value of the dump truck is 1.64 billion VND and the 20 spare tires are valued at 0.16 billion VND). Thus, in this case, the main goods of the bidding package are the dump truck and the scale of the similar contract is determined by 70% x 1.64 billion VND.
- Example 3: The scope of supply for the bidding package under consideration includes 50 air conditioners (HS code 8415; estimated price 2 billion VND); 20 laptops (HS code 8507; estimated price 400 million VND); 20 laser printers (HS code 8443; estimated price 100 million VND), to be delivered within 180 days from the effective date of the contract.. Bidder participating in the bidding is the A - B joint venture bidder, where member A is the manufacturer of air conditioners responsible for supplying the air conditioners (80% of the value of the bidding package), member B is the trader responsible for supplying laptops and printers of the bidding package (20% of the value of the bidding package). In this case, the A - B joint venture bidder is considered to meet the requirements for production capacity and experience in implementing contracts if:
+ Member A provides documentation proving the designed capacity of the factory, production line for air conditioners reaching at least 12.5 air conditioners/month (1.5 x 50 air conditioners x 30 /180 days) or the highest air conditioner production output in any month in the last 5 years up to the bidding deadline is equal to or greater than 12.5 air conditioners/month;
+ Member B has provided goods with HS codes 8507, 8443 in the same contract or in 2 different contracts but ensuring that the value of HS code 8507 in one contract is equal to or greater than 70% of the value of the laptop item (i.e., ≥70% x 400 million VND), and the value of HS code 8443 in one contract is equal to or greater than 70% of the value of the laser printer item (i.e., ≥70% x 100 million VND).
- Example 4: The scope of supply for the bidding package for purchasing goods Q is as follows:
No Goods List HS Code Estimated Value (VND)
1 Goods A 9025 10,000,000,000
2 Goods B 9030 8,000,000,000
3 Goods C 9030 12,000,000,000
In this case, bidder A participating in the bidding package for the procurement of goods Q mentioned above is considered to meet the experience requirements for executing contracts supplying similar goods if:
+ Providing 01 contract with complete HS codes 9025 and 9030, and the total value of HS codes 9025 and 9030 in the completed contract is at least 15.4 billion VND (70% x (10 billion VND + 12 billion VND)) or
+ Providing 01 contract in which the supply of HS code 9025 has been carried out with a minimum value of 7 billion VND (70% x 10 billion VND) and 01 contract that has supplied HS code 9030 with a minimum value of 8.4 billion VND [70% x 12 billion VND].
  • Example 5: The bidding package for the procurement of goods is divided into several lots (for example, divided into 03 lots) as follows:
No. Lot Name Scope of Supply HS Code Estimated Value (VND)
1 Lot 01 Goods A 9025 10,000,000,000
2 Lot 02 Goods B 9025 20,000,000,000
3 Lot 03 Goods C 9025 30,000,000,000
In this case, the bidder participating in the bidding for all 03 lots of the above-mentioned goods procurement package has 01 contract supplying HS code 9025 with a value of Z assessed as follows:
+ Case 1: if Z < 7,000,000,000 VND, it is assessed as not meeting the experience requirements for executing contracts supplying similar goods for all 03 lots (Lot 01, 02, 03) that the bidder participates in.
+ Case 2: if 7,000,000,000 ≤ Z < 14,000,000,000 VND, it is assessed as meeting the experience requirements for executing contracts supplying similar goods for Lot 01.
+ Case 3: if 14,000,000,000 ≤ Z < 21,000,000,000 VND, it is assessed as meeting the experience requirements for executing contracts supplying similar goods for Lot 01 and Lot 02.
+ Case 4: if Z ≥ 21,000,000,000 VND, it is assessed as meeting the experience requirements for executing contracts supplying similar goods for all 03 lots (Lot 01, 02, 03) that the bidder participates in.

(12) In cases where after-sales service is not required, this evaluation criterion should be crossed out.
In cases where the bidder lacks commitment, it can be supplemented during the Electronic Pre-qualification application evaluation process. If the bidder does not supplement the commitment within a reasonable time as requested by the Investor or the Bidder, the bidder's Electronic Pre-qualification application will be considered not meeting the requirements for warranty, maintenance, repair, providing spare parts, or providing other after-sales services and will be eliminated.

- Contracts for the supply of goods, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey concluded by the Investor as not completed and the bidder does not dispute;
- Contracts for the supply of goods, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey concluded by the Investor as not completed, not accepted by the bidder but concluded by arbitration or the court in a direction unfavorable to the bidder.
Incomplete contracts do not include contracts for which the Investor's decision has been rejected by the dispute resolution mechanism. The determination of incomplete contracts must be based on all information about disputes or litigation resolved according to the regulations of the dispute resolution mechanism of the corresponding contract and when the bidder has exhausted all possible opportunities for complaint. For contracts that are delayed due to the fault of the bidder but are still completed, they are not considered incomplete contracts.
For a joint venture bidder where only one or some members of the joint venture violate and are prohibited from participating in bidding activities as stipulated in Clause 1 Article 125 of Decree No. 24/2024/ND-CP, the remaining member of the joint venture is not considered to have an incomplete contract due to the fault of the bidder. In cases where one or some members of the joint venture violate the contract, no longer have the capacity to continue performing the contract, and severely affect the progress, quality, and effectiveness of the bidding package, only the violating member(s) of the joint venture are considered to have an incomplete contract, while the remaining member is not considered to have an incomplete contract due to the fault of the bidder.
(4) The bidder provides documentation proving that they have fulfilled tax declaration obligations and paid corporate income tax (personal income tax for bidders who are business households) for the most recent fiscal year compared to the bidding deadline (for cases where the System has not updated information about tax obligations) for cross-checking when invited to cross-check the documents. Tax obligations are the payment of taxes corresponding to the tax rate, taxable income, taxable revenue declared by the bidder on the electronic tax system (the tax paid corresponding to the tax owed); in cases of delays in tax payment, tax exemptions, or reductions according to state policies, this should be implemented according to these regulations. If the System has not automatically extracted information about the bidder's tax obligations, the bidder must submit the following documents:
- Tax declaration (or payment notice from the tax authority for business households) and Payment receipt confirmed by the tax authority printed from the electronic tax system or
- Tax declaration (or payment notice from the tax authority for business households) and confirmation from the tax authority regarding the fulfillment of tax obligations.
In cases where the bidding deadline is after the end date of the bidder's fiscal year (year Y) and before or on the last day of the third month from the end date of year Y, the requirement has been fulfilled regarding tax declaration and payment applies to the fiscal year prior to year Y (year Y-1).
(For example: The bidding deadline is March 20, 2024, the bidder's fiscal year is 01/01 – 31/12, then the bidder must prove that they have fulfilled tax declaration and payment obligations for the year 2022).
(5) When bidding for innovative products, individuals or groups producing innovative products specified in Clause 4, Article 5 of Decree No. 24/2024/ND-CP are not required to meet financial capacity criteria, the number of years of operation in the same industry within 06 years from the time the product is first produced and is eligible for market launch.
(6) For bidders who are business households, this criterion is not evaluated.
(7) For domestic innovative startup enterprises when bidding for innovative products of that enterprise according to the regulations in Clause 4, Article 5 of Decree No. 24/2024/ND-CP are not required to meet this criterion within 06 years from the time the product is first produced and is eligible for market launch.
For domestic bidders transferred technology to produce goods of Vietnamese origin in accordance with Electronic Bidding Document are not required to meet this criterion within 05 years from the time the product is first produced and is eligible for market launch. The basis for determining a domestic bidder transferred technology is the Technology transfer registration certificate, Technology transfer certificate according to the provisions of law on technology, investment law.
For domestic bidders producing goods of Vietnamese origin in accordance with Electronic Bidding Document, they are not required to meet revenue requirements when the bidder bids for goods of which this type is first produced by the bidder and is eligible for market launch within 05 years before the bidding deadline. Bidders benefit from this incentive from the time the bidder is established but not exceeding 07 years up to the bidding deadline;
(8) Specify the required time, usually from 03 years to 05 years before the year of the bidding deadline. In cases where the bidder has fewer years of establishment than required by Electronic Bidding Document, the average annual revenue (excluding VAT) is calculated based on the number of years the bidder has been established. In this case, if the average annual revenue (excluding VAT) of the bidder meets the value requirement of Electronic Bidding Document, the bidder will still be evaluated without being disqualified.
For bidders who are business households, it is not mandatory to submit financial statements, but the bidder must provide documents proving revenue corresponding to tax obligations.
In cases where the bidding deadline is after the end date of the bidder's fiscal year (year Y) and before or on the last day of the third month from the end date of year Y, the requirement for submitting financial statements applies to the years prior to year Y (year Y-1, Y-2...).
Example 1: The bidding deadline is March 20, 2024, the bidder's fiscal year is 01/01 – 31/12 and Electronic Bidding Document requires the bidder to submit financial statements for the last 03 years, then the bidder must submit financial statements for the years 2020, 2021, 2022.
Example 2: The average annual revenue (excluding VAT) of the last 3 fiscal years compared to the bidding deadline. In this case, if the bidding deadline is November 15, 2024, then the bidder must submit financial statements for the years 2021, 2022, 2023. The bidder was established in 2022 but the average revenue of 2022 and 2023 meets the requirements, then the bidder continues to be evaluated.
(9) Common calculation method for the required average annual revenue (excluding VAT):
a) In cases where the implementation time of the bidding package is 12 months or more, the revenue calculation method is as follows:
Minimum requirement for average annual revenue (excluding VAT) = [(Contract price – VAT value)/implementation time of the bidding package in years] x k. Generally, the coefficient “k” in this formula is from 1.5 to 2.
b) In cases where the implementation time of the bidding package is less than 12 months, the revenue calculation method is as follows:
Minimum requirement for average annual revenue from production and business activities (excluding VAT) = (Contract price – VAT value) x k. Generally, the coefficient “k” in this formula is 1.5.
For centralized procurement packages applying bidder selection based on supply capacity, the revenue is determined according to the above formula corresponding to the bid price (replace contract price with bid price in the formula). In this case, the investor needs to specify the coefficient “k”.
(10) In cases where the bidding package includes many different types of goods, depending on the nature and scale of the package, the Bidding Party may set requirements for the designed capacity of the factory, production line, or the highest production output for 01 month in the last 05 years up to the bidding deadline based on the main types of goods in the package (must specify the main goods) or based on all types of goods in the package, corresponding to the requirements for the main items or all goods of the package for bidders who are trading companies. 
The designed capacity of the factory, production line, or the highest production output for 01 month in the last 05 years up to the bidding deadline is equal to: k x (Required quantity of the bidding package x 30/implementation time of the bidding package (calculated by day)). Generally, k = 1.5; in cases of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities, the bidding volume can specify k = 1”.
Example: The quantity of goods needed to purchase is 12,000 boxes of milk, the implementation time of the bidding package is 20 days, the coefficient k = 1.5, then the minimum designed capacity in 01 month/highest production output of 01 month of the bidder is: 1.5 x (12,000 x 30/20) = 27,000 boxes of milk.
In cases where the goods are products manufactured domestically by Vietnamese bidders (which may have been sold in the market or not), the bidder must prove the designed capacity or production output that meets the requirements.
In cases where the bidder is both a manufacturer and a supplier (some goods or a part of the quantity of goods the bidder bids in Electronic Pre-qualification application are produced by the bidder, while other goods or a part of the quantity of goods are purchased from other manufacturers, suppliers to provide for the bidding package), in addition to declaring production capacity, the bidder must also declare experience in performing similar contracts according to the content specified in Section 4 of Table No. 01 of this chapter. The evaluation of the bidder's experience will be based on contracts for supplying similar goods (corresponding to the part of the goods that the bidder purchases from other manufacturers, suppliers) and the production capacity of the bidder (corresponding to the part of the goods that the bidder produces to provide for the bidding package).
The bidder can use documents such as sales invoices, inventory quantity… to prove the output produced in 01 month; use documents proving the designed capacity of the factory, production line to prove production capacity.
For centralized procurement packages applying bidder selection based on supply capacity, production capacity is determined according to the above formula corresponding to the volume and quantity that the bidder can provide (not corresponding to the bidding volume). In this case, the investor needs to specify the coefficient “k”.
(11) In cases where the bidder lacks commitments, they can be supplemented during the evaluation of Electronic Pre-qualification application. If the bidder does not supplement commitments within a reasonable time as required by the Investor, the Bidding Party, then the bidder's Electronic Pre-qualification application is considered not to meet the requirements regarding warranty capacity, provision of replacement parts, or provision of other after-sales services and is disqualified. In cases where after-sales service is not required, this evaluation criterion should be removed.

Section 3. Technical Evaluation Criteria
Using pass/fail criteria or scoring methods to establish technical evaluation standards.
The establishment of technical evaluation standards is based on factors regarding the ability to meet requirements for quantity, quality, delivery time, transportation, installation, warranty, provision of after-sales services (if any), information on contract performance results of the bidder as stipulated in Articles 17 and 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP, the quality of similar goods publicly disclosed in accordance with Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP (if any), and other requirements mentioned in Chapter V. Depending on each specific bidding package, when preparing the Electronic Bidding Document, specific criteria must be detailed as the basis for evaluating technical aspects including:
- Characteristics, technical specifications of goods, manufacturing standards, fabrication standards, and technology;
- The reasonableness and economic efficiency of technical solutions, organization measures for supplying and installing goods;
- The level of compliance with warranty and maintenance requirements: bidders must present a plan for providing warranty and maintenance services;
- The level of compliance with requirements for supplying materials, replacement equipment, and other related services (if any) throughout the entire usage period of the goods.
- Adaptability regarding geography and environment;
- Impact on the environment and mitigation measures;
- Sustainable bidding criteria (if any);
- Factors regarding commercial conditions, delivery time, technology transfer training, provision of after-sales services;
- Progress of goods delivery;
- Environmentally friendly factors;
- The bidder's contract performance results for the supply of goods package, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey as stipulated in Articles 17 and 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP, the quality of similar goods publicly disclosed in accordance with Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP (if any);
- Other necessary factors.
3.1. Evaluation by scoring method[7]:
Based on the scale and nature of the bidding package, the Investor stipulates the minimum and maximum score for each general criterion. A minimum score may be set for the basic detailed criteria within the general criteria; minimum scores cannot be set for non-basic detailed criteria. The required minimum score must not be less than 70% of the total technical score. For bidding packages with high technical requirements, the minimum required technical score ranges from 80% to 90% of the maximum total technical score. Electronic Pre-qualification application with a total score (as well as the score of some general criteria) meeting or exceeding the minimum required score will be evaluated as technically satisfactory and will proceed to financial consideration.
The technical score of each general criterion is calculated based on the technical score of the detailed criteria using the following formula:

Where:
tji        = technical score of detailed criterion “i” in general criterion “j”,
wji   = weight of detailed criterion “i” in general criterion “j”,
k      = number of detailed criteria in general criterion “j”, and

Total technical score is calculated using the following formula:

Where:
Sj     = technical score of general criterion “j”
Wj   = weight of general criterion “j”
n     = number of general criteria, and

3.2. Evaluation by pass/fail method[8]:
Based on the scale and nature of the bidding package, the level of requirements for each content is determined. For general evaluation criteria, only pass or fail criteria are used. For basic detailed criteria within the general criteria, only pass or fail criteria are used; for non-basic detailed criteria in the general criteria, in addition to pass or fail criteria, acceptable criteria may also be applied, but they must not exceed 30% of the total detailed criteria within that general criterion.
The general criteria are considered satisfactory when all basic detailed criteria are evaluated as satisfactory and the non-basic detailed criteria are evaluated as satisfactory or acceptable.
Electronic Pre-qualification application is evaluated as meeting technical requirements when all general criteria are assessed as satisfactory.
Section 4. Financial Evaluation Criteria
Based on the nature and scale of each specific bidding package, one of the following methods should be selected accordingly:
4.1. Lowest Price Method[9]:
The method for determining the lowest price is as follows:
- In case Section 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulates that the bidder bids according to Form No. 12.1 (12.1A or 12.1B or 12.1C) Chapter IV:
Step 1. Determine the bid price and the bid price after discounts (if any);
Step 2. Determine the preferential value (if any) as stipulated in Section 28 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering;
Step 3. Rank the bidders: Electronic Pre-qualification application with the bid price after deducting the discount value (if any) and adding the preferential value (if any) is ranked first with the lowest total.
- In case Section 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulates that the bidder bids according to Form No. 12.2 (12.2A or 12.2B or 12.2C) Chapter IV:
Step 1. Determine the bid price excluding taxes, fees, import duties, excise taxes (if any), VAT, after discounts (if any);
Step 2. Determine the preferential value (if any) as stipulated in Section 28 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering;
Step 3. Rank the bidders: Electronic Pre-qualification application with the bid price excluding taxes, fees, import duties, excise taxes (if any), VAT, after deducting the discount value (if any), and adding the preferential value (if any) is ranked first with the lowest total.
4.2. Evaluation Price Method[10]:
The method for determining the evaluation price is as follows:
Step 1.
- In case Section 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulates that the bidder bids according to Form No. 12.1 (12.1A or 12.1B or 12.1C) Chapter IV, the bid price after discounts (if any) is determined.
- In case Section 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulates that the bidder bids according to Form No. 12.2 (12.2A or 12.2B or 12.2C) Chapter IV, the bid price excluding taxes, fees, import duties, excise taxes (if any), VAT, after discounts (if any) is determined.
Step 2. Determine the evaluation price:
The evaluation price is determined according to the following formula:
GĐG = G ± ΔG + ΔƯĐ
Where:       
- G is the bid price determined in Step 1 of this section;
- ΔƯĐ is the value to be added for items not eligible for preferences as stipulated in Section 28 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering.
- ΔG is the value of factors normalized for the entire lifecycle of the goods. Accordingly, when establishing the evaluation price standard, the Investor and the Bidder may consider quantifying one or more factors in addition to the bid price. These factors may include:
a) Delivery time:
Goods must be delivered within the timeframe specified in the Electronic Bidding Document. If a bidder proposes an earlier delivery time than the earliest delivery date, it will not be prioritized. If a bidder proposes a later delivery time than this period, the bidder's Electronic Pre-qualification application will be disqualified.
In case the Investor or the Bidder can quantify the monetary advantage of 1 day of goods being put into use early (within the timeframe according to the delivery schedule), resulting in savings of A (VND), this factor will be used in the formula to determine the evaluation price. If the bidder delivers later than the earliest delivery date by X days (but still within the timeframe according to the delivery schedule), an additional amount of: A x X (VND) will be added to this bidder's bid price for comparison and ranking.
b) Payment schedule:
The bidder must quote prices according to the payment schedule specified in the Electronic Specific Terms and Conditions of the Contract The Electronic Pre-qualification application will be compared based on the quoted price according to the payment schedule. However, along with the payment schedule specified in the Electronic General Terms and Conditions of the ContractT, the bidder is allowed to propose an alternative payment schedule and propose a discount according to this payment schedule. After the bidder is selected based on the comparison of prices according to the initial payment schedule, the Investor may consider the alternative payment schedule and the bidder's discount.
c) Costs for materials and replacement parts during the initial period: ___ [The Investor and the Bidder choose one of the following two methods:
The bidder is responsible for listing and quoting prices for materials and replacement parts during the initial operation period as stipulated in Section 15.8 Electronic Bidding Document List. The quoted prices of these materials and replacement parts will be added to the bidder's bid price for comparison of Electronic Pre-qualification application and ranking. The bidder is responsible for fulfilling their commitment to the prices proposed at this point during the usage period.
or
The Investor and the Bidder compile a list of materials and replacement parts that are used frequently and have a significant value during the initial operating period as stipulated in Section 15.8 Electronic Bidding Document List. The bidder must quote unit prices and total amounts for these materials and replacement parts. The quoted prices of these goods will be added to the bidder's bid price for comparison of Electronic Pre-qualification application and ranking. The bidder is responsible for fulfilling their commitment to the proposed prices during the usage period.
d) The availability of supplying materials, replacement parts, and after-sales services for the goods quoted in Electronic Pre-qualification application at the project site:
For the purpose of comparing Electronic Pre-qualification application and ranking the bidder, the bid price will be increased by an amount equivalent to the cost that the Investor must incur to establish minimum service facilities and store the materials and replacement parts if these items are quoted separately.

e) Lifecycle cost:
Lifecycle cost should be used when the costs for operation and maintenance during the lifecycle of the goods are significant compared to the purchase cost of the goods and can vary between different Electronic Pre-qualification application. Lifecycle costs will be evaluated based on net present value. If lifecycle costs are applied, the following factors may be considered for comparison and bidder ranking:
+ Number of years for calculating lifecycle costs:___ [enter the number of years];
+ Discount rate for calculating the net present value of operation and maintenance costs: ___ [enter the discount rate];
+ Annual operation and maintenance costs throughout the lifecycle of the goods are determined as follows: ____ [enter the method of determination];
+ Salvage value;
+ Other factors as required by the Investor and the Bidder;
+ The bidder must provide the following information:­­­________[state the information the bidder must provide (if necessary)].
f) Performance and capacity of the equipment:

For comparing Electronic Pre-qualification application and ranking bidders, the bid price will be adjusted by an amount corresponding to the difference in capacity and performance between the bidder's proposal and the minimum required level in the HSMT. Specifically: _______ [insert adjustment formula]. For example, a 1% or 1 unit difference in equipment performance and capacity offered in Electronic Pre-qualification application compared to the minimum required level in the HSMT is considered equivalent to _____ [insert the amount that the Investor could benefit from due to higher performance and capacity].
g) Goods certified with eco-labels, energy labels, and equivalents (if any): _____ [If this criterion is applied, the investor and the bidder need to quantify in monetary terms a unit difference for goods certified with eco-labels, energy labels, and equivalents compared to the minimum required level].
h) Sustainable bidding (if any): _____ [If this criterion is applied, the investor and the bidder need to quantify in monetary terms a unit difference for environmental and social parameters compared to the minimum required level. If prioritizing products and services certified with eco-labels, energy labels, and equivalents, specific regulations are required].
i) The bidder's contract performance results according to the provisions of Articles 17 and 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP;
k) The quality of similar goods used is publicly disclosed according to the provisions in Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP (if any), including consideration of the origin.
l) Other standards:
- In cases where the scope of supply includes requirements for sustainable bidding, such as emissions, fuel consumption, recyclable materials, and reuse… the Investor and the Bidder may use pass/fail criteria or, in addition to pass/fail criteria, quantify these factors in monetary terms if they exceed the minimum requirements.
Step 3. Bidder ranking: Electronic Pre-qualification application with the lowest evaluation price is ranked first.
Section 5. Alternative technical solutions in Electronic Pre-qualification application (if any)
In cases where bidders are allowed to propose alternative technical solutions as stipulated in Section 12 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering, Electronic Pre-qualification application will be evaluated as follows: ___ [specify the evaluation criteria and standards for the alternative technical solution].
Section 6. Cases where the bidding package is divided into independent parts (if any)
If the bidding package is divided into independent parts, the Electronic Bidding Document must clearly state the standards and evaluation methods for each part or multiple parts so that bidders can calculate their bidding proposals according to their capabilities. The evaluation of Electronic Pre-qualification application and bid approval will be based on ensuring that the total proposed bid price of the bidding package is the lowest (for the bidding package applying the lowest price method); the total evaluation price of the bidding package is the lowest (for the bidding package applying the evaluation price method) and the total bid price of the entire bidding package does not exceed the approved package price without comparing with the estimated cost of each part.
