22. Evaluation of Electronic Technical Proposal	22.1. The procuring entity applies the evaluation method as stipulated in Electronic Bidding Document List to evaluate Electronic Technical Proposal. 22.2. The process for evaluating Electronic Technical Proposal is as follows: a) Step 1: Evaluate eligibility in accordance with Section 1 of Chapter III. - The system automatically evaluates based on the bidder's commitments in the bid submission regarding the following: + The legal eligibility of the bidder; + Within 3 years prior to the bid closing date, the bidder has not had personnel (who signed labor contracts with the bidder at the time of the violation) convicted by a court for serious violations of bidding regulations under criminal law to favor the bidder in winning the bid. . In case the expert team discovers that the bidder's commitments are dishonest, leading to distortion of the bidding results, the bidder will be considered to have committed fraud in bidding. - The expert team evaluates the validity of the bid security, joint venture agreement (for joint ventures). For bid security in centralized procurement, where bidder selection is based on supply capability, the determination of the validity of bid security is done during the financial evaluation step. - The bidder who is evaluated as passing all eligibility criteria will proceed to the capacity and experience evaluation. b) Step 2: Evaluate capacity and experience in accordance with Section 2 of Chapter III - The system automatically evaluates the following aspects: history of contract non-fulfillment, tax declaration and payment obligations, financial performance, and average annual revenue based on the information declared and extracted in the Electronic Pre-qualification application. For the contents evaluated automatically by the system, the bidder does not need to attach documents to prove them when submitting the Electronic Pre-qualification application. - For the evaluation of similar contracts, production capacity of goods, the expert team will evaluate based on the information declared by the bidder on the webform and the attached documents. - For the key personnel evaluation, the expert team will evaluate based on the information declared by the bidder. - The bidder who is evaluated as passing all capacity and experience criteria will proceed to the technical evaluation. c) Step 3: Evaluate the technical aspects in accordance with Section 3 of Chapter III. The bidder whose Electronic Technical Proposal does not meet the requirements will not proceed to the opening of the Electronic Financial Proposal for evaluation. The procuring entity will publish the list of bidders who meet the technical requirements on the system.. 22.3. Principles for evaluating Electronic Technical Proposal: a) For the contents evaluated automatically by the system, including legal eligibility, the bidder has no personnel convicted by a court for serious violations of bidding regulations, contract non-fulfillment history due to the bidder's fault, tax declaration and payment obligations, financial performance, average annual revenue. In cases where the bidder does not declare information or declares incorrectly, incompletely, or fails to meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements, the system will evaluate the bidder as "fail" for that content. The expert team cannot change the evaluation from "fail" to "pass" once the system has evaluated it as "fail." If the bidder's committed or declared information in the Electronic Pre-qualification application is dishonest, leading to distortion of the Electronic Pre-qualification application evaluation results, the bidder will be considered to have committed fraud; b) In case of discrepancies between the bid security information declared by the bidder on the webform and the scanned bid security file, the evaluation will be based on the information in the scanned bid security file (in the case of a bid guarantee letter or a written insurance guarantee). c) In case of inconsistencies between the information on similar contracts declared on the webform and the supporting documents attached, the procuring entity will request the bidder to clarify the Electronic Pre-qualification application. If the contracts declared or attached in the Electronic Technical Proposal do not meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements or the bidder does not declare or incompletely declares similar contracts on the webform, the procuring entity will request the bidder to clarify or submit additional contracts (updated from the bidder's capability profile on the system) to meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements within an appropriate timeframe but not less than 3 working days. If the bidder does not have contracts that meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements, the bidder will be disqualified; d) In case the key personnel proposed by the bidder in Electronic Technical Proposal do not meet the requirements or fail to demonstrate the ability to mobilize personnel (including the case where personnel have already been mobilized for another contract with a working time that overlaps with the execution time of this bidding package), the procuring entity allows the bidder to supplement or replace them. The bidder is allowed to supplement or replace personnel for each position only once within an appropriate timeframe, but not less than 3 working days. If the bidder does not have replacement personnel that meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements, the bidder will be disqualified. In all cases, if the bidder declares personnel dishonestly, the bidder is not allowed to replace the personnel, their Electronic Pre-qualification application will be disqualified, and the bidder will be considered fraudulent as per Clause 4 of Article 16 of the Law on Bidding and handled according to the provisions in point a, Clause 1, Article 125 of Decree No.24/2024/NĐ-CP. đ) For the origin of goods, in case of inconsistencies between the information declared on the webform and the attached file, the procuring entity shall request clarification of the Electronic Pre-qualification application; e) For contents other than those specified at points a, b, c, d, and đ of this clause, in case of inconsistencies between the information declared on the webform and the attached file, the information on the webform will serve as the basis for review and evaluation; g) At the financial evaluation stage, if the bidder does not declare information in the form regarding the preferences for domestically produced goods as a basis for calculating preferences, the bidder will not be entitled to the preferences.
23. Opening of Electronic Financial Proposal	23.1. The Electronic Financial Proposal of the bidders listed as meeting the technical requirements will be opened and publicly disclosed by the procuring entity on the system. 23.2.

24. Evaluation of Electronic Financial Proposal and Bidder Ranking	24.1. The evaluation of Electronic Financial Proposal is carried out in accordance with Section 4, Chapter III and as stipulated in Electronic Bidding Document List. For bid security in centralized procurement, where bidder selection is based on supply capability, the determination of the validity of bid security is done at this stage. 24.2. After the evaluation of Electronic Financial Proposal, the procuring entity prepares a bidder ranking list. Bidder ranking is done according to the provisions of Electronic Bidding Document List. The first-ranked bidder is invited for document verification as stipulated in Section 32 of the Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering. If the invited bidder does not meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements, the next-ranked bidder will be invited for verification. If there are contract negotiations, the verification of documents will be combined with contract negotiations. In cases where only one bidder passes the financial evaluation, bidder ranking is not required. For centralized procurement with bidder selection based on supply capability, the bidder ranking list is arranged from lowest to highest bid prices after discounts (if any), calculated per unit of the items the bidders are bidding for. Bidders invited for document verification will be a combination of the lowest to highest-ranked bidders, ensuring that the total quantity of goods offered by the bidders is not less than the quantity of goods specified in the Electronic Bidding Document. 24.3. In case of inconsistencies between the information declared on the webform and the attached file, the information on the webform will be the basis for review and evaluation; 24.4. The bidder invited for document verification must prepare the documents to verify and prove the information declared in the Electronic Pre-qualification application. For the contents of eligibility, contract non-fulfillment history due to the bidder's fault, tax declaration and tax payment, average annual revenue, net asset value that the system automatically evaluated as "pass" based on the declared information extracted in the Electronic Pre-qualification application, but the expert team reevaluated as "fail," the expert team will change the evaluation result from "pass" to "fail." In such cases, the procuring entity will invite the next-ranked bidder for document verification without re-ranking the bidders. Regarding the information about tax declaration, tax payment, average annual revenue from 2021 onwards, the procuring entity only verifies if the bidder updates the information, and no verification is required if the information is automatically extracted by the system from the National Business Registration System and the Electronic Tax System.
25. Confidentiality	25.1. Information related to the evaluation of the Electronic Pre-qualification application and the contract award proposal must be kept confidential and must not be disclosed to the bidders or any individuals not officially involved in the bidding process until the results are made public. Under no circumstances should information in one bidder's Electronic Pre-qualification application be disclosed to another bidder, except for the information made public in the bid opening minutes. 25.2. Except for clarifications of the Electronic Pre-qualification application (if necessary), document verification, and contract negotiation (if any), the bidder is not allowed to contact the Investor or the Procuring Entity regarding their Electronic Pre-qualification application or any other issues related to the bidding package from the time of bid opening until the bidding results are made public.
26. Clarification of Electronic Pre-qualification application	26.1. After bid opening, the bidder is responsible for clarifying the Electronic Pre-qualification application at the request of the Procuring Entity, including matters related to eligibility, capacity, experience, tax declaration and payment obligations, and specific personnel documents proposed in the bidder’s Electronic Pre-qualification application. For eligibility matters, the clarification must ensure that it does not alter the nature of the bidder participating in the bidding. For matters related to the validity of the Electronic Pre-qualification application (except for eligibility), technical and financial proposals, the clarification must ensure that it does not change the basic content of the submitted Electronic Pre-qualification application, nor change the bid price. 26.2. During the evaluation process, clarification of the Electronic Pre-qualification application between the bidder and the Procuring Entity is carried out directly on the system. 26.3. Clarification of the Electronic Pre-qualification application is only conducted between the Procuring Entity and the bidder whose Electronic Pre-qualification application needs clarification. For clarifications that directly affect the evaluation of eligibility, capacity, experience, and technical and financial requirements, if the bidder fails to clarify by the deadline or provides clarification that does not meet the requirements of the Procuring Entity, the Procuring Entity will evaluate the bidder’s Electronic Pre-qualification application based on the submission before the bid closing time. The Procuring Entity must give the bidder a reasonable time to clarify the Electronic Pre-qualification application. 26.4. The bidder cannot clarify the Electronic Pre-qualification application after the bid closing time. 26.5.

The Procuring Entity must check the technical aspects of the Electronic Pre-qualification application in accordance with Sections 15 and 16 of the Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering to ensure that all the requirements stipulated in the Electronic Bidding Document have been met and that the Electronic Pre-qualification application contains no material deviations, conditions, or omissions. 28.4. If the Electronic Pre-qualification application does not basically meet the requirements stated in the Electronic Bidding Document, that Electronic Pre-qualification application will be disqualified; material deviations, conditions, or omissions in the Electronic Pre-qualification application cannot be modified to make the Electronic Pre-qualification application meet the Electronic Bidding Document requirements.
29. Minor Errors	29.1.

Subcontractor requirements are stipulated in Electronic Bidding Document List. 30.3. The use of subcontractors does not change the responsibilities of the bidder. The bidder is responsible for the volume, quality, schedule, and other obligations for the portion of work performed by the subcontractor. The capacity and experience of subcontractors will not be considered when evaluating the bidder's Electronic Pre-qualification application. The bidder must meet the capacity and experience criteria itself (without considering the subcontractor's capacity and experience). 30.4. The bidder may contract with subcontractors listed in the Electronic Pre-qualification application or with a subcontractor approved by the investor to participate in providing related services. 30.5. If the bidder commits an act of contract transfer as stipulated in Clause 8, Article 16 of the Law on Bidding, it will be handled in accordance with point b, Clause 1, Article 125 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP. 30.6.

The preference calculation is conducted during the evaluation of the Electronic Pre-qualification application for comparison and ranking of Electronic Pre-qualification applications: Goods are only eligible for preference when the bidder can prove that the cost of domestic production accounts for 30% or more of the total price of the goods. The determination of goods produced in Vietnam can be done using the direct or indirect formulas below: Direct formula: D (%) = G/G x 100% Indirect formula: D (%) = (G - C)/G x 100% Where: G: Domestic production cost G: The bid price of the goods in the bidding document, excluding tax; for manufacturers, G is the ex-works price (EXW) of the goods. C: The value of imported costs, excluding taxes and fees related to imports. D: The percentage of domestic production cost of the goods. D ≥ 30% means the goods are eligible for preference as stipulated in Articles 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP. 31.4. The method of calculating preferences is carried out in accordance with Electronic Bidding Document List. 31.5.

Notes:
(1) A manufacturer is defined as an enterprise/production facility that produces or participates in the production process of goods, or a subsidiary/parent company responsible for distributing or consuming products manufactured by another subsidiary/parent company within the Corporation/General Company.
(2) Specify the required period, usually from 3 to 5 years before the bid closing date. For example: from January 1, 2019 to the bid closing date.
(3) A supply contract, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey not completed due to contractor’s fault includes:
- A supply contract, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey concluded by the Investor as incomplete and not disputed by the contractor;
- A supply contract, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey concluded by the Investor as incomplete, not accepted by the contractor but confirmed by arbitration or a court decision unfavorable to the contractor.
Incomplete contracts do not include contracts where the Investor's decision was overturned through the dispute resolution mechanism. The determination of incomplete contracts must be based on all information about disputes or litigation resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution mechanism of the respective contract, and when the contractor has exhausted all appeal opportunities. Contracts delayed due to the contractor's fault but completed are not considered incomplete contracts.
For joint venture contractors where only one or some members violate and are barred from bidding activities under Clause 1, Article 125 of Decree No. 24/2024/ND-CP, the remaining members are not considered at fault for incomplete contracts due to contractor error. In cases where one or some members violate the contract, lose the capacity to continue the contract, seriously affecting the schedule, quality, or efficiency of the package, only the offending members are considered at fault for incomplete contracts, and the remaining members are not.
(4) The contractor must provide documents proving that it has fulfilled its obligation to declare and pay corporate income tax (personal income tax for contractors as sole proprietors) for the most recent fiscal year from the bid closing date (in cases where the System has not updated information on tax obligations) for verification when invited for document verification. Tax obligations include paying taxes at rates corresponding to the tax rate, taxable income, and revenue reported by the contractor on the electronic tax system (the amount of tax paid corresponds to the amount of tax payable); in cases where tax deferral, exemption, or reduction is allowed according to state policy, it must be applied accordingly. If the System does not automatically extract information on the contractor's tax obligations, the contractor must submit the following documents:
- Tax return (or payment notice from the tax authority for sole proprietors) and tax payment receipt with confirmation from the tax authority printed from the electronic tax system or
- Tax return (or payment notice from the tax authority for sole proprietors) and confirmation from the tax authority of tax obligations fulfilled.
If the bid closing date is after the end of the contractor's fiscal year (year Y) and before or within the last day of the third month from the end of year Y, the requirement to declare and pay taxes applies to the fiscal year preceding year Y (year Y-1).
(For example: If the bid closing date is March 20, 2024, and the contractor's fiscal year is January 1 – December 31, then the contractor must prove that it has fulfilled tax declaration and payment obligations for the year 2022).
(5) For sole proprietors, this criterion is not evaluated.
(6) Specify the required period, usually from 3 to 5 years before the bid closing date. If the contractor has been established for fewer years than required by the Electronic Bidding Document, the average annual revenue (excluding VAT) is calculated based on the number of years of establishment. In this case, if the contractor’s average annual revenue (excluding VAT) meets the Electronic Bidding Document value requirement, the contractor will still be evaluated and not disqualified.
For sole proprietors, financial statements are not mandatory, but the contractor must provide documents proving revenue corresponding to tax obligations.
If the bid closing date is after the end of the contractor's fiscal year (year Y) and before or within the last day of the third month from the end of year Y, the requirement to submit financial statements applies to previous years of year Y (years Y-1, Y-2...).
Example 1: If the bid closing date is March 20, 2024, and the contractor's fiscal year is January 1 – December 31, and the Electronic Bidding Document requires financial statements for the most recent 3 years, the contractor must submit financial statements for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022.
Example 2: The average annual revenue (excluding VAT) of the 3 most recent fiscal years from the bid closing date. In this case, if the bid closing date is November 15, 2024, the contractor must submit financial statements for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. If the contractor was established in 2022 but the average revenue for 2022 and 2023 meets the requirement, the contractor is still evaluated.
(7) Usual calculation method for average annual revenue requirement (excluding VAT):
a) If the package implementation period is 12 months or more, the revenue calculation is as follows:
Minimum average annual revenue requirement (excluding VAT) = [(Package value – VAT amount) / Implementation period in years] x k. Usually, the coefficient “k” in this formula ranges from 1.5 to 2.
b) If the contract implementation period is less than 12 months, the revenue calculation is as follows:
Minimum average annual revenue requirement (excluding VAT) = (Contract value – VAT amount) x k. Usually, the required coefficient “k” in this formula is 1.5.
For centralized procurement packages that select contractors based on supply capacity, revenue is determined according to the above formula corresponding to the bid price (replace “contract value” with “bid price” in the formula). In this case, the investor needs to specify the coefficient “k”.
(8) For contracts in which the contractor has participated as a joint venture member or subcontractor, only the value of the work performed by the contractor is considered.
(9) Specify the required period, usually from 3 to 5 years prior to the bid closing date. For example: from January 1, 2019 to the bid closing date.
(10) Similar in nature: goods of a similar nature are those that meet one of the following two criteria: (i) Criterion 1: are goods belonging to the same field or category (the investor specifies the field or category, e.g., medical equipment, electrical equipment, office equipment...) or (ii) Criterion 2: are goods with the same Chapter code, Group code (corresponding to the first four digits of the code) in the Harmonized System of commodity description and coding (HS – Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System) according to the Harmonized System classification issued by the World Customs Organization (WCO) (collectively referred to as HS codes). The HS code is based on Circular No. 31/2022/TT-BTC dated June 8, 2022, by the Ministry of Finance (published by the General Department of Customs on the electronic information page: https://www.customs.gov.vn). Contractors supplying goods within the same field or category required by the Electronic Bidding Document or with the same first four digits of HS codes are considered similar to the goods in the bidding package.
Example: If the bidding package includes laptops with HS code 84.71.30.20, then goods with HS codes 84.71.xx.xx are considered similar. If the goods in the bidding package have not yet been published with an HS code, the contractor must declare contracts supplying goods of the same field or category as required by the Electronic Bidding Document (Criterion 1).
- For procurement packages for medical equipment, HS codes are determined according to Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT dated May 15, 2018, by the Ministry of Health. Goods similar by HS code (determined according to Criterion 2) are medical equipment in the same commodity group (corresponding to the first four digits of the code) specified in Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT.
During implementation, if Circular No. 31/2022/TT-BTC or Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT is amended, supplemented, or replaced, the amended, supplemented, or replaced legal documents shall be applied instead of Circular No. 31/2022/TT-BTC or Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT).
- In cases where the investor or bidding party has difficulty determining the HS code of goods according to Criterion 2, the Electronic Bidding Document may stipulate similar requirements regarding the field or category (according to Criterion 1). In this case, if the contractor can identify the HS code of the goods as required by the bidding package and the HS code of the goods in the items or contracts already performed (accepted) falls within the same group (corresponding to the first four digits of the code), then this item or contract is considered similar for evaluation (considered as the contractor meeting Criterion 2).
- In the case of packages with multiple items, HS codes are only required for the main items of the package.
(11) Scale of similar contracts:
In cases where the bidding package contains multiple categories of goods, the corresponding value of each item must be stated as a basis for assessing the contractor's experience in executing similar contracts.
In cases where the bidding package includes different types of goods, depending on the nature and scale of the package, the bidding party shall specify requirements regarding the scale of similarity based on the main types of goods in the package (the main goods must be clearly stated) or requirements regarding the scale of similarity based on all types of goods in the package, specifying the required scale for each main item or each item. In cases of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume, and if there are fewer than three contractors in the country who have previously executed similar contracts with a scale exceeding 70% of the scale of the package being considered, the requirement for the scale of similar contracts may be reduced to Y/1.4 and/or the package may be divided into lots to increase competitiveness. Here, Y is usually around 70% of the value of the package being considered; in cases where the bidding package has some items with the same Chapter code and Group code, the determination of the scale of similar contracts is defined according to points (iii) and (iv) of these notes.
For procurement packages of goods with a volume and quantity of work based on needs over the years and a contract duration longer than 1 year, the Electronic Bidding Document requires the value of similar contracts within one cycle (1 year) without specifying requirements based on the total number of years.
Example: The bidding package for supplying material X for the needs of the investor over two years 2024-2025 (from 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2025), with a bid price of 100 billion VND (for the needs over two years). The required value of similar contracts is: 70% x 100/2 = 35 billion VND.
The evaluation of the scale of similar contracts is based on the completed value, as accepted, as follows:
(i) Having at least one completed contract that fully supplies similar types of goods with a value of at least Y (or Y/1.4 if it falls under centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume) or
(ii) Having similar items executed in different contracts (contracts may be completed or ongoing, not yet accepted, liquidated) but ensuring that the value of each similar item executed meets at least 70% of the value of each item in the bidding package under consideration (or 50% if it falls under centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume).
Where:
+ The executed item is a part or all of the volume of goods in the item that has been accepted within the specified time frame, regardless of the contract signing time. The point of confirming the executed item to determine the similar item is the point of acceptance of the goods, not based on the contract signing time.
+ A completed contract is one where all goods have been accepted or a contract that has been liquidated. The point of confirming the completed contract to determine the similar contract is the point of acceptance of the goods, not based on the contract signing time.
- In cases where the contractor is both a manufacturer and a supplier (some goods or part of the volume of goods proposed by the contractor in the Electronic Pre-qualification application are produced by the contractor, while some other goods or part of the volume are purchased from other manufacturers or suppliers to provide for the bidding package), in addition to declaring experience in executing similar contracts, the contractor must also declare production capacity according to the contents specified in Section 4 of Table No. 02 of this Chapter. The evaluation of the contractor's experience will be based on the contract for supplying similar goods (corresponding to the part of the goods that the contractor purchased from other manufacturers or suppliers) and the production capacity of the contractor (corresponding to the part of the goods that the contractor produced to supply the bidding package).
For centralized procurement packages selecting contractors based on supply capacity, similar contracts are defined according to the volume and value of goods that the contractor bids, ensuring that the value of each executed similar item meets at least 70% of the value of each item proposed by the contractor (or 50% if it falls under centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume).
In cases where some items in the bidding package have the same Chapter code and Group code (code A), the evaluation of the scale of similar contracts is based on the completed value, as accepted, as follows:
(iii) Having at least one completed contract that fully supplies similar types of goods with a value of at least K (or K/1.4 if it falls under centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume), where K is 70% of the total value of items without the same Chapter code and Group code (not code A) and the highest value of items with the same code A (item value according to the bid price, approved estimate) or
(iv) Having similar items executed in different contracts (contracts may be completed or ongoing, not yet accepted, liquidated) but ensuring that the value of each similar item without code A executed meets at least 70% of the value of each item in the bidding package under consideration (or 50% if it falls under centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume). For similar items with the same code A, it is only necessary that the value of the similar item executed meets at least 70% of the highest value of items with the same code A in the bidding package under consideration (or 50% if it falls under centralized procurement or procurement of goods with a large quantity and volume).
* Examples for notes (10), (11):
- Example 1: The bidding package under consideration is for supplying 500,000 single-use syringes with HS code 9018.31.10 (according to the provisions of Circular No. 14/2018/TT-BYT) with a value of 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) with a value of 2,000,000,000 VND. Contractor X has contract A (not 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 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 lamp item), then contractor X is evaluated as meeting the requirements for similar contracts for this bidding package.

"~~From January 1, ___~~
- Example 2: The scope of supply of the bidding package is to purchase dump trucks along with 20 spare tires; the approved estimated value of the bidding package is 1.8 billion VND (in 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 dump trucks, and the scale of similar contracts is determined by 70% x 1.64 billion VND.
- Example 3: The scope of supply of 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. The bidding contractor is Joint Venture A – B, where member A is the manufacturer of air conditioners responsible for supplying air conditioners (80% of the contract value), and member B is a trader responsible for supplying laptops and printers for the package (20% of the contract value). In this case, Joint Venture A – B is considered to meet the requirements for production capacity and experience in executing contracts if:
+ Member A provides documentation proving the design capacity of the factory, production line of air conditioning equipment achieves a minimum of 12.5 air conditioners/month (1.5 x 50 machines x 30 / 180 days) or the highest production output of air conditioners in one month within the last 5 years up to the bid closing date being equal to or greater than 12.5 units/month;
+ Member B has successfully provided the HS codes 8507 and 8443 in the same contract or in two different contracts but ensures 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 procurement of goods Q is as follows:

No.	Goods Category	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, Contractor A participating in the bidding package for the procurement of goods Q mentioned above is considered to meet the requirement for experience in executing similar supply contracts if:
+ Provides 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
+ Provides 01 contract in which HS code 9025 has been supplied with a minimum value of 7 billion VND (70% x 10 billion VND) and 01 contract 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 parts (for example, divided into 03 parts) as follows:

No.	Part Name	Scope of Supply	HS Code	Estimated Value (VND)
1	Lot No. 01	Goods A	9025	10,000,000,000
2	Lot No. 02	Goods B	9030	20,000,000,000
3	Lot No. 03	Goods C	9025	30,000,000,000

In this case, the contractor participating in the bidding for all 03 parts of the aforementioned procurement package has 01 contract supplying HS code 9025 with a value executed as Z, evaluated as follows:
+ Case 1: if Z < 7,000,000,000 VND, then it is evaluated as not meeting the requirements for experience in executing similar supply contracts for all 03 parts (Lot No. 01, 02, 03) that the contractor participates in.
+ Case 2: if 7,000,000,000 ≤ Z < 14,000,000,000 VND, then it is evaluated as meeting the requirements for experience in executing similar supply contracts for Lot No. 01.
+ Case 3: if 14,000,000,000 ≤ Z < 21,000,000,000 VND, then it is evaluated as meeting the requirements for experience in executing similar supply contracts for Lot No. 01 and Lot No. 02.
+ Case 4: if Z ≥ 21,000,000,000 VND, then it is evaluated as meeting the requirements for experience in executing similar supply contracts for all 03 parts (Lot No. 01, 02, 03) that the contractor participates in.
(12) If after-sales service is not required, then strike out this evaluation criterion.
If the contractor lacks commitment, it can be supplemented during the Electronic Pre-qualification application evaluation process. If the contractor does not supplement the commitment within a reasonable timeframe as required by the Investor, the Bidding Entity, then the contractor's Electronic Pre-qualification application is considered not to meet the requirements regarding warranty, maintenance, repair, provision of spare parts, or other after-sales services and will be disqualified.

Note:
(1) A manufacturer is understood as a business or production facility that produces goods or participates in the process of producing goods, or as a subsidiary or parent company responsible for the distribution and consumption of products produced by the parent company or other subsidiaries within the Group or Corporation..
(2) Indicate the required time period, typically from 3 to 5 years before the year of the bid closing date. For example: from January 1, 2019, to the bid closing date.
(3) Contracts for the supply of goods, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey not completed due to the contractor's fault include:
- Contracts for the supply of goods, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey that the Investor concludes as uncompleted by the contractor and the contractor does not dispute;
- Contracts for the supply of goods, EPC, EP, PC, turnkey concluded by the Investor as uncompleted, which the contractor does not approve, but has been concluded unfavorably for the contractor by arbitration or court.
Uncompleted contracts do not include contracts whose decisions by the Investor have been rejected through dispute resolution mechanisms. The determination of uncompleted contracts must be based on all information about disputes or litigation resolved according to the relevant contract's dispute resolution provisions, and when the contractor has exhausted all possible opportunities to appeal. Contracts that are delayed due to the contractor's fault but are still completed are not considered uncompleted contracts.
For a consortium contractor, if only one or some members of the consortium violate and are prohibited from participating in bidding activities according to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 125 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP, the remaining members of the consortium are not considered uncompleted contracts due to the contractor's fault. In cases where one or some members of the consortium violate the contract, no longer have the capacity to continue fulfilling the contract, severely affecting the progress, quality, and effectiveness of the bidding package, only the violating members of the consortium are considered uncompleted contracts, while the remaining members are not regarded as uncompleted contracts due to the contractor's fault.
(4) The contractor must provide documentation proving that they have fulfilled their tax declaration and corporate income tax obligations (personal income tax for individual contractors) for the most recent fiscal year relative to the bid closing date (in cases where the System has not updated information about tax obligations) to verify when invited to verify documents. Tax obligations refer to paying taxes according to the applicable tax rates, taxable income, and taxable revenue declared by the contractor on the electronic tax system (the amount of tax paid corresponds to the amount of tax owed); in cases where tax payment is delayed, exempted, or reduced according to State policies, these provisions apply. If the System has not automatically extracted the contractor's tax obligations information, the contractor must submit the following documents:
- Tax declaration form (or payment notification from the tax authority for individual businesses) and Payment receipt confirmed by the tax authority printed from the electronic tax system or
- Tax declaration form (or payment notification from the tax authority for individual businesses) and confirmation from the tax authority regarding the fulfillment of tax obligations.
In cases where the bid closing date is after the end of the contractor's fiscal year (year Y) and before or on the last day of the third month from the end of year Y, the requirement for tax declaration and payment applies to the previous fiscal years of year Y (years Y-1, Y-2...).
(Example: If the bid closing date is March 20, 2024, and the contractor's fiscal year is from January 1 to December 31, then the contractor must prove that they have fulfilled their 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/NĐ-CP are not required to meet the financial capacity and number of years of operation in the same industry within a period of 06 years since the product was first produced and qualified for market introduction.
(6) For contractors that are individual businesses, this criterion is not evaluated.
(7) For domestic innovative startup enterprises bidding for their innovative products according to the provisions of Clause 4, Article 5 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP, they are not required to meet this criterion within a period of 06 years from when the product was first produced and qualified for market introduction.
For domestic contractors that are transferred technology to produce goods originating from Vietnam, in accordance with Electronic Bidding Document, they are not required to meet this criterion within a period of 05 years from when the product was first produced and qualified for market introduction. The basis for determining domestic contractors receiving technology transfer includes certificates of technology transfer registration and certificates encouraging technology transfer according to the provisions of laws on technology and investment.
For domestic contractors producing goods originating from Vietnam that comply with Electronic Bidding Document, they are not required to meet the revenue requirement when bidding for goods of which this type was first produced by the contractor and qualified for market introduction within a period of 05 years before the bid closing date. Contractors enjoy this preference from the time of establishment but not exceeding 07 years up to the bid closing date;
(8) Indicate the required time period, typically from 3 to 5 years before the year of the bid closing date. In cases where a contractor 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 contractor has been established. In this case, if the average annual revenue (excluding VAT) of the contractor meets the requirements of Electronic Bidding Document, the contractor can still be evaluated without being disqualified.
For contractors that are individual businesses, it is not mandatory to submit financial statements, but the contractor must provide documents proving revenue corresponding to tax obligations.
In cases where the bid closing date is after the end of the contractor's fiscal year (year Y) and before or on the last day of the third month from the end of year Y, the requirement for submitting financial statements applies to the previous years of year Y (years Y-1, Y-2...).
Example 1: The bid closing date is March 20, 2024, the contractor's fiscal year is from January 1 to December 31, and the Electronic Bidding Document requires the contractor to submit financial statements for the last 3 years, then the contractor 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 relative to the bid closing date. In this case, if the bid closing date is November 15, 2024, the contractor must submit financial statements for the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. The contractor was established in 2022, but if the average revenue for 2022 and 2023 meets the requirement, the contractor can continue to be evaluated.
(9) The usual calculation method for the required average annual revenue (excluding VAT):
a) In cases where the execution time of the bidding package is 12 months or longer, the revenue calculation is as follows:
The minimum requirement for average annual revenue (excluding VAT) = [(Bid price – VAT value)/execution time of the bidding package in years] x k. Typically, the required coefficient “k” in this formula ranges from 1.5 to 2.
b) In cases where the execution time of the bidding package is less than 12 months, the revenue calculation is as follows:
The minimum requirement for average annual revenue from production and business activities (excluding VAT) = (Bid price – VAT value) x k. Typically, the required coefficient “k” in this formula is 1.5.
For the centralized procurement package applying contractor selection based on supply capacity, revenue is determined using the above formula corresponding to the bid price (replace “bid 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 various types of goods, depending on the characteristics and scale of the package, the Inviting Party should specify the design capacity of the factory, production line, or the highest production output in one month in the last 5 years relative to the bid closing date based on the main types of goods in the package (the main goods must be clearly stated) or based on all types of goods in the package, corresponding to the requirements for the main item or all goods of the package for contractors that are trading companies.
The design capacity of the factory, production line, or the highest production output in one month in the last 5 years relative to the bid closing date is calculated as: k x (Required quantity of the bidding package x 30/Execution time of the bidding package (measured in days)). Typically, k = 1.5; in cases of centralized procurement or procurement of goods with large quantities or volumes, k can be specified as 1.
Example: The quantity of goods needed to purchase is 12,000 boxes of milk, the execution time of the bidding package is 20 days, k = 1.5, then the minimum design capacity in one month/the highest production output of the contractor is: 1.5 x (12,000 x 30/20) = 27,000 boxes of milk.
In cases where the goods are products produced domestically by the Vietnamese contractor (which may or may not have been sold in the market), the contractor must prove that the design capacity or production output meets the requirements.
In cases where the contractor is both a producer and a supplier (some goods or part of the volume of goods offered in the Electronic Pre-qualification application are produced by the contractor, while other goods or parts are purchased from other producers or suppliers for the bidding package), in addition to declaring production capacity, the contractor must also declare experience in executing similar contracts according to the provisions in Section 4, Table 01 of this Chapter. The evaluation of the contractor's experience will be based on contracts for supplying similar goods (corresponding to the portion of goods purchased from other producers or suppliers) and the contractor's production capacity (corresponding to the portion of goods that the contractor self-produces for the bidding package).
The contractor may use documents such as sales invoices, inventory quantities, etc., to prove the output produced in one month; and use documents proving the design capacity of the factory or production line to demonstrate production capacity.
For the centralized procurement package applying contractor selection based on supply capacity, production capacity is determined using the above formula corresponding to the volume and quantity that the contractor can supply (not corresponding to the tendered volume). In this case, the investor needs to specify the coefficient “k”.
(11) In cases where the contractor lacks commitments, these can be supplemented during the evaluation of the Electronic Pre-qualification application. If the contractor does not supplement the commitment within a reasonable time as requested by the investor or the inviting party, the contractor's Electronic Pre-qualification application will be considered non-compliant regarding warranty capacity, supply of spare parts, or provision of other after-sales services, and will be disqualified. If after-sales services are not required, this evaluation criterion should be struck out..

For historical contents regarding uncompleted contracts due to contractor faults, the obligations to declare taxes, pay taxes, financial activity results, warranty capabilities, provide spare parts, or provide other after-sales services apply as stipulated in Table No. 01, Table No. 02 of this Chapter.
Note:
(*) In cases where the contractor participates in multiple parts, the revenue assessment is based on the total average revenue value required for the parts that the contractor participates in. If the contractor participates in one part, it only needs to meet the revenue requirement for that part. In the case of a concentrated procurement package applying contractor selection based on supply capacity, the revenue requirement for each part is determined according to the formula specified in note (7) Table No. 01, note (9) Table No. 02 of this Chapter (replacing “package price” with “bid price” in the formula).
(**) In cases where the contractor participates in multiple parts, the assessment of similar contracts corresponds to each part that the contractor participates in, and the contractor is not required to meet the total scope of similar contracts for the parts that the contractor participates in. In the case of a concentrated procurement package applying contractor selection based on supply capacity, the requirement for the scope of similar contracts for each part is determined according to note (11) Table No. 01, note (10) Table No. 02 of this Chapter.

2.2. Evaluation Criteria for Key Personnel:
There is no requirement for mobilizing key personnel for the supply of goods. For commonly available goods in the market, where high-level personnel are not required to perform related services (such as installation, training, technology transfer, etc.), there is no requirement for key personnel. Key personnel requirements are only applicable for related services that have specific, complex elements necessitating knowledgeable and experienced personnel.
If the Electronic Bidding Document requires key personnel, the contractor must demonstrate the ability to mobilize the proposed key personnel. The contractor must provide detailed information about the proposed key personnel and their experience documentation according to Forms 06A, 06B, 06C in Chapter IV. Key personnel may be part of the contractor's staff or may be mobilized by the contractor. In cases where the key personnel declared in the Electronic Pre-qualification application do not meet the requirements or fail to demonstrate the ability to mobilize personnel (including instances where key personnel are already mobilized for another contract with overlapping work periods with this project), the contracting authority allows the contractor to supplement or replace. The contractor is only allowed to supplement or replace once for each key personnel position within an appropriate timeframe of no less than 03 working days. If the contractor does not have replacement key personnel meeting the Electronic Bidding Document requirements, the contractor will be disqualified. In any case, if the contractor declares dishonest information about key personnel, they cannot replace personnel; the contractor's Electronic Pre-qualification application will be disqualified and considered fraudulent according to the provisions of Clause 4, Article 16 of the Bidding Law and processed according to the regulations in point a, Clause 1, Article 125 of Decree No.24/2024/NĐ-CP.
The requirement for key personnel is digitized as a Webform on the System. Experience in similar work is reflected in the minimum years of personnel performing similar work or the minimum number of contracts in similar work. The number of years of experience for key personnel is calculated from the time they started performing similar work until the bid closing date. The contractor must provide detailed information about the proposed key personnel according to Forms 06A, 06B, and 06C in Chapter IV to demonstrate that they have sufficient personnel for the key positions meeting the following requirements:

Note:
(1) In cases where the bidding package does not require key personnel, the Investor does not fill in this Table.
(2) Applicable only in cases where related services require professional certification.
Section 3. Technical Evaluation Criteria
Use pass/fail criteria or scoring methods to establish the technical evaluation criteria.
The establishment of technical evaluation criteria is based on factors regarding the ability to meet the requirements for quantity, quality, delivery time, transportation, installation, warranty, provision of after-sales services (if any), and information about the contractor's contract performance as stipulated in Article 17 and Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP, the quality of similar goods is publicly disclosed according to the provisions of Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP (if any) and other requirements stated in Chapter V. Based on each specific bidding package, when preparing the Electronic Bidding Document, specific criteria must be established as the basis for technical evaluation, including:
- Characteristics, technical specifications of the goods, production standards, manufacturing standards, and technology;
- Reasonableness and economic efficiency of technical solutions, organizational measures for the supply and installation of goods;
- The level of compliance with warranty and maintenance requirements: the contractor 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 use process of the goods.
- The ability to adapt geographically and environmentally;
- Environmental impact and solutions;
- Sustainable bidding criteria (if any);
- Factors regarding commercial conditions, delivery times, technology transfer training, provision of after-sales services;
- Delivery schedule;
- Environmental friendliness;
- Contractor’s performance results regarding the supply of goods, EPC, EP, PC, and turnkey projects as stipulated in Articles 17 and 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP, the quality of similar goods is publicly disclosed according to the provisions of Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP (if any);
- Other necessary factors.
3.1. Evaluation according to scoring method[7]:
Based on the size and nature of the bidding package, the Investor specifies the minimum and maximum scores for each general criterion. A minimum score may be specified for basic detailed criteria within general criteria; a minimum score cannot be specified for non-basic detailed criteria. For bidding packages with high technical requirements, the minimum required score for technical evaluation ranges from 80% to 90% of the total maximum technical score. Electronic Pre-qualification application with total scores (as well as the scores of some general criteria) meeting or exceeding the minimum required score will be evaluated as meeting the technical requirements and will proceed to financial review.
The technical score of each general criterion is calculated based on the technical scores of detailed criteria using the following formula:

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

The total technical score is calculated using the following formula:

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

3.2. Evaluation by pass/fail method[8]:
Based on the size and nature of each specific bidding package, the level of requirements for each item is determined. For the general evaluation criteria, only pass/fail criteria are used. For the basic detailed criteria within the general criteria, only pass/fail criteria are used; for the non-basic detailed criteria within the general criteria, in addition to pass/fail criteria, acceptable criteria may also be applied, but they must not exceed 30% of the total number of detailed criteria in that general criterion.
The general criterion is considered passed when all basic detailed criteria are assessed as passed and the non-basic detailed criteria are assessed as either passed or acceptable.
Electronic Pre-qualification application is assessed as meeting technical requirements when all general criteria are evaluated as passed.
4. Evaluation Standards for Electronic Financial Proposal
Depending on the nature and size of each specific bidding package, choose one of the methods below that is appropriate:
4.1. Lowest Price Method[9]:
The method for determining the lowest price is as follows:
- In the case of Item 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulating that the contractor bids according to Form 12.1 (12.1A or 12.1B or 12.1C) Chapter IV:
Step 1. Determine the bidding price, the bidding price after discount (if any);
Step 2. Determine the preferential value (if any) according to the provisions of Item 31 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering;
Step 3. Contractor ranking: 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.
- In the case of Item 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulating that the contractor bids according to Form 12.2 (12.2A or 12.2B or 12.2C) Chapter IV:
Step 1. Determine the bid price excluding taxes, fees, import duties, special consumption tax (if any), VAT, after discounts (if any);
Step 2. Determine the preferential value (if any) according to the provisions of Item 31 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering;
Step 3. Contractor ranking: Electronic Pre-qualification application with the bid price excluding taxes, fees, import duties, special consumption tax (if any), VAT, after deducting the discount value (if any) and adding the preferential value (if any) is ranked first.
4.2. Price Evaluation Method[10]:
The method for determining the evaluation price is as follows:
Step 1.
- In the case of Item 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulating that the contractor bids according to Form 12.1 (12.1A or 12.1B or 12.1C) Chapter IV, then determine the bid price after discounts (if any).
- In the case of Item 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List stipulating that the contractor bids according to Form 12.2 (12.2A or 12.2B or 12.2C) Chapter IV, then determine the bid price excluding taxes, fees, import duties, special consumption tax (if any), VAT after discounts (if any).
Step 2. Determine the evaluation price:
The determination of the evaluation price is carried out according to the following formula:
G_DG = G ± Δ_G+ Δ_ƯĐ
Where:
- G is the bid price determined in Step 1 of this section;
- Δ_ƯĐ is the value to be added for entities not entitled to preferences according to the provisions of Item 31 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering.
- Δ_G is the value of the factors standardized for the entire life cycle of the goods. Accordingly, when establishing the evaluation price standards, the investor and the bid solicitor may consider quantifying one or more factors other than the bid price. These factors may include:
a) Delivery time:
Goods must be delivered within the timeframe specified in the Electronic Bidding Document. Contractors proposing an earlier delivery date than the earliest delivery date will not be given priority. Contractors proposing a delivery time later than this period will have their Electronic Pre-qualification application disqualified.
In cases where the investor or the bid solicitor can quantify the monetary advantage of one day of early use of the goods (within the delivery schedule) that will save A (VND), this factor will be used in the evaluation price formula. If the contractor delivers later than the earliest delivery date by X days (but still within the delivery schedule), an amount of A x X (VND) will be added to this contractor's bid price for comparison and ranking.
b) Payment schedule:
The contractor must quote according to the payment schedule specified in the Specific Terms and Conditions of the Contract. Electronic Pre-qualification application will be compared based on the quoted price according to the payment schedule provided. However, along with the payment schedule specified in the Specific Terms and Conditions of the Contract, the contractor is allowed to propose an alternative payment schedule and suggest a discount based on this payment schedule. After the contractor is selected based on the comparison of the price quoted according to the initial payment schedule, the investor may consider the alternative payment schedule and discount of this contractor.
c) Costs for material items, spare parts during the initial period:___ [The investor or the bid solicitor chooses one of the following two methods:
The contractor is responsible for listing and quoting for materials, spare parts during the initial operating period specified in Item 15.8 Electronic Bidding Document List. The quoted prices for these materials and spare parts will be added to the contractor's bid price to compare Electronic Pre-qualification application and rank the contractor. The contractor is responsible for adhering to the commitment with the proposed price in this section during the usage period.
or
The investor and the bid solicitor shall prepare a list of materials, spare parts with high usage frequency and value during the initial operating period specified in Item 15.8 Electronic Bidding Document List. The contractor must quote unit prices and total amounts for these materials and spare parts. The quoted prices of these goods will be added to the contractor's bid price to form the basis for comparing Electronic Pre-qualification application and ranking the contractor. The contractor is responsible for adhering to the commitment with the proposed prices during the usage period.
d) The ability to provide materials, spare parts, and after-sales services for the goods quoted in Electronic Pre-qualification application at the project site:
To facilitate the comparison of Electronic Pre-qualification application and contractor ranking, the bid price will be increased by an amount equivalent to the costs that the Investor must incur to establish minimum service facilities and to store the materials and spare parts if these items are quoted separately.
e) Life cycle costs:
Life cycle costs should be considered when the costs for operation and maintenance over the life cycle of the goods are significant compared to the purchase costs and may differ between Electronic Pre-qualification applications. Life cycle costs will be evaluated based on net present value. If life cycle costs are applied, the following factors may be considered for comparison and contractor ranking purposes:
+ Number of years for calculating life cycle costs:___ [write the number of years];
+ Discount rate for present value calculation of operation and maintenance costs: ___ [write the discount rate];
+ Annual operation and maintenance costs over the life cycle of the goods determined by: ____ [write the determination method];
+ Salvage value;
+ Other factors as required by the Investor and the bid solicitor;
+ The contractor must provide the following information: ________ [list the information the contractor must provide (if needed)].
f) Performance and capacity of the equipment:

To compare Electronic Pre-qualification application and rank the contractor, the bid price will be reduced by an amount corresponding to the difference in capacity and performance between the contractor's proposal and the minimum requirements in the bidding documents. Specifically:_______ [write the adjustment formula]. For example, a 1% or 1 unit difference in performance and capacity of the equipment that the Electronic Pre-qualification application offers better than the minimum requirement in the bidding documents is considered equivalent to _____ [write 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 applies, the investor or bid solicitor needs to quantify in monetary terms a unit difference for goods certified with eco-labels, energy labels, and equivalents compared to the minimum requirement].
h) Sustainable bidding (if any): _____ [If this criterion applies, the investor or bid solicitor needs to quantify in monetary terms a unit difference for environmental and social indicators compared to the minimum requirement.If priority is given to products or services certified with eco-labels, energy labels, and equivalents, it needs to be specifically regulated.].
i) Information on the contractor's contract performance results as regulated in Article 17 and Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP;
k) Quality of similar goods that have been publicly disclosed according to the provisions of Article 18 of Decree No. 24/2024/NĐ-CP (if any), including considering the origin;
l) Other standards:
In cases where the provision includes requirements for sustainable bidding, such as emissions, fuel consumption, recycled materials, reuse, etc., the Investor and the Bid Solicitor may use the pass/fail criteria or, along with the pass/fail criteria, quantify these factors in monetary terms if they exceed the minimum requirements.
Step 3. Contractor ranking: Electronic Pre-qualification application with the lowest evaluation price is ranked first.
4.3. Combined technical and price method[11]:
When applying this method, the technical evaluation criteria must use a scoring method. A scoring scale (T) consistent with the technical scoring scale will be used to determine the price score. T is the maximum technical score determined in Item 3.1 of this chapter.
The comprehensive evaluation criteria are constructed based on the combination of technical and price. Depending on the scale and nature of each specific package, it is necessary to determine the weighting of technical scores and the weighting of price scores to ensure that the total weighting of technical scores plus the total weighting of price scores equals 100%, in which the weighting of technical scores (K) ranges from 10% to 30%, and the weighting of price scores (T) ranges from 70% to 90%.
Step 1.
- If Item 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List states that the contractor bids according to Form 12.1 (12.1A or 12.1B or 12.1C) Chapter IV, then determine the bid price after discount (if any).
- If Item 13.5 Electronic Bidding Document List states that the contractor bids according to Form 12.2 (12.2A or 12.2B or 12.2C) Chapter IV, then determine the bid price excluding taxes, fees, and charges related to imports, special consumption tax (if any), VAT after discount (if any).
Step 2. Determine the composite score.

G_lowest Current technical score_{under consideration}
Composite score_{under consideration} = (( ^____________×

T + ^{_________________________}_×

K) × 100) + Δ_ƯĐ
G_{under consideration}Highest technical score

Where:
Current technical score_{under consideration}: is the score determined in the technical evaluation step of the Electronic Pre-qualification application under consideration;
Highest technical score_: is the highest score among the Electronic Pre-qualification applications that meet the technical requirements;
G_lowest: is the bid price after corrections, adjustments for discrepancies, minus the lowest discount value (if any) of the Electronic Pre-qualification applications that meet the technical requirements;

G_{under consideration}: is the bid price after corrections, adjustments for discrepancies, minus the discount value (if any) of the Electronic Pre-qualification application under consideration;
K: Weighting of technical scores specified in the overall scoring scale;
T: Weighting of price scores specified in the overall scoring scale;
K + T = 100%. In which, the weighting of technical scores (K) is:__[specify the value from 10% to 30%, the weighting of price scores (T) is:___[specify the value from 70% to 90%];
Δ_ƯĐ is the value to be added for the entity eligible for incentives according to the provisions of Section 31 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering (if any).
Step 3. Contractor ranking: Electronic Financial Proposal with the highest composite score is ranked first.
Section 5. Alternative technical proposal in Electronic Pre-qualification application (if any)
In cases where the contractor is allowed to propose an alternative technical solution as specified in Section 12 Electronic Competitive Dialogue and Negotiated Tendering, the Electronic Pre-qualification application will be evaluated as follows: ___ [list the criteria and standards for evaluating the alternative technical solution].
Section 6. Cases where the bid package is divided into independent parts (if any)
In cases where the bid package is divided into independent parts, the Electronic Bidding Document must specify the standards and evaluation methods for each part or multiple parts so that contractors can calculate their bidding proposals based on their capabilities. The evaluation of the Electronic Pre-qualification application and the selection of the winning bid will be based on ensuring that the total proposed winning bid of the package is the lowest (for packages applying the lowest price method); the total evaluated price of the package is the lowest (for packages applying the evaluation price method); the highest composite score (for packages applying the combined method of technical and price) and the proposed winning bid of the entire package does not exceed the approved package price without comparing with the estimated cost of each part.
