Financial capacity of the Bidder
2 (i) T1 – Liquidity: 5 15
It is necessary that the firm can withstand cash flow that the contract
will require until payments received from the Employer. Liquidity
therefore becomes an important consideration. This shall be seen
from the balance sheets of last audited year and/or from the banking
reference. Net current assets and/or documents including banking
reference (as per proforma given in Annexure – 8 of ITT), should
show that the applicant has access to or has available liquid assets,
lines of credit and other financial means to meet cash flow of INR
0.14 Crores for this contract, net of applicant’s commitments for
other Contracts. Banking reference should contain in clear terms
the amount that bank will be in a position to lend for this work to the
applicant/member of the Joint Venture/Consortium. In case the Net
Current Assets (as seen from the Balance Sheets) are negative,
only the Banking references will be considered. Otherwise the
aggregate of the Net Current Assets and submitted Banking
references will be considered for working out the Liquidity. The
banking reference should be from a Scheduled Bank in India or (in
case of foreign parties) from an international bank of repute
acceptable to GMRC as per proforma given in Annexure- 8 of ITT
and it should not be more than 3 months old as on date of
submission of bids. In Case of JV/Consortium- Requirement of
liquidity is to be distributed between members as per their
percentage participation and every member should satisfy the
minimum requirement.
Example: Let member-1 has percentage participation=M and
member-2 has percentage participation=N. If minimum liquidity
required is ‘W’ then liquidity of member-1 ≥ W M
100
And liquidity of member-2 ≥ W N.
100
(ii) T2 - Profitability: 2.5
Profit before Tax should be Positive in at least 2(two) year, out
of the last five audited financial years. In Case of
JV/Consortium: The profitability of only lead member shall be
evaluated.
(iii) T3 - Net Worth: 2.5
Net Worth of tenderer during last audited financial year should
be > INR. 0.19 Crores
In Case of JV/Consortium- Net worth will be based on the
percentage participation of each Member. Example: Let
Member-1 has percentage participation = M and Member-2 has
=N. Let the Net worth of Member-1 is A and that of Member-2
is B, then the Net worth of JV/Consortium will be
= AM+BN

(iv) T4 - Annual Turnover: 5
The average annual turnover from consultancy works of last five
financial years should be > INR.0.57 Crores. The average
annual turnover of JV/Consortium will be based on percentage
participation of each member.

Example: Let Member-1 has percentage participation = M and


Member - 2 has =N. Let the average annual turnover of
Member-1 is ‘A’ and that of Member-2 is ‘B’, then the average
annual turnover of JV/Consortium will be = AM+BN

Notes:
a) Financial data for latest last five audited financial years has
to be submitted by the tenderer in Appendix-18 of FOT
along with audited balance sheets. The financial data in the
prescribed format shall be certified by Chartered
Accountant with his stamp and signature. In case audited
balance sheet of the last financial year is not made
available by the bidder, he has to submit an affidavit
certifying that ‘the balance sheet has actually not been
audited so far’ in Appendix-18A of FOT. In such a case the
financial data of previous ‘4’ audited financial years will be

the tender will be considered as non-responsive.

b) Where a work is undertaken by a group, only that portion of


the contract which is undertaken by the concerned
applicant/member should be indicated and the remaining
done by the other members of the group be excluded. This
is to be substantiated with documentary evidence.

C. Quality of Bid
Evaluation Parameter Total Marks

The Bid will be scored by Tender Committee based on the 10 marks


quality of:
• Understanding of Scope of Work, Approach &
Methodology; (Annexure – 1 & 2, ITT) = 5 Marks
• Work Plan; (Annexure – 1 & 2, ITT) = 5 Marks

Eligible Bidders will be invited to give a 20 minute


*presentation regarding the above points.
TOTAL 10 marks
*Date of presentation to be communicated later. In case GMRC decides not to go for presentation, all
10 marks for “Quality of Bid” shall be evaluated on the basis of Technical Submissions.

Bidders must score at least 60% in each category (i.e. A, B & C) and 70% in total, in order to
qualify for the next stage of evaluation (i.e. financial).

1.1.3.3 (A) Evaluation of Financial Bid


In the second stage, the financial evaluation will be carried out. Each Financial Bid will be assigned
a financial score.

For financial evaluation, the total cost indicated in the Financial Bid will be considered. GMRC will
determine whether the Financial Bids are complete, unqualified and unconditional. The cost
indicated in the Financial Bid shall be deemed as final and reflecting the total cost of services.
Omissions, if any, in costing any item shall not entitle the Consultant to be compensated and the
liability to fulfil its obligations as per the TOR within the total quoted price shall be that of the
Consultant. This means lowest evaluated financial Bid will get the maximum financial score of 100.

1.1.3.3 (B) Combined and Final Evaluation


The technical and financial evaluation of tender will be in accordance with para 6.9.2 of QCBS
selection (Rule 192 of GFR – 2017) taking of technical proposal as 70% weighted and financial
proposal as 30% weighted.

The criteria for the purpose of guidance is given as below;-

_________________________________________________________________
GMRC Page 18 of 22
Tender No: GMRC/DDC/METRO BHAWAN/AHMEDABAD/2023 NIT

“Under QCBS selection, the technical proposals will be allotted weightage of 70% (Seventy
per cent) while the financial proposals will be allotted weightages of 30% (Thirty per cent) or
any other respective weightages as declared in the RFP (Example, 60:40, 50:50, but not
greater than 80%). The proposed weightages for quality and cost shall be specified in the RFP.
Proposal with the lowest cost may be given a financial score of 100 (Hundred) and other
proposals given financial scores that are inversely proportional to their prices w.r.t. the lowest
offer. Similarly, proposal with the highest technical marks (as allotted by the evaluation
committee) shall be given a score of 100 (Hundred) and other proposals be given technical
score that are proportional to their marks w.r.t. the highest technical marks. The total score,
both technical and financial, shall be obtained by weighing the quality and cost scores and
adding them up. On the basis of the combined weighted score for quality and cost, the
consultant shall be ranked in terms of the total score obtained. The proposal obtaining the
highest total combined score in evaluation of quality and cost will be ranked as H-1 followed
by the proposals securing lesser marks as H-2, H-3 etc. The proposal securing the highest
combined marks and ranked H-1 will be invited for negotiations, if required and shall be
recommended for award of contract. In the event two or more bids have the same score in
final ranking, the bid with highest technical score will be H-1. In such a case, an Evaluated Bid
Score (B) will be calculated for each responsive Bid using the following formula, which permits
a comprehensive assessment of the Bid price and the technical merits of each Bid:

B= Clow T (1 - X)
X +
C Thigh

where,
C = Evaluated Bid Price
Clow = the lowest of all Evaluated Bid Prices among responsive Bids
T = the total Technical Score awarded to the Bid
Thigh = the Technical Score achieved by the Bid that was scored best among all responsive
Bids
X = weightage for the Price as specified in the BDS

The Bid with the best evaluated Bid Score (B) among responsive Bids shall be the Most
Advantageous Bid

As an example, the following procedure can be followed. In a particular case of selection of


consultant, it was decided to have minimum qualifying marks for technical qualifications as 70
(Seventy) and the weightage of the technical bids and financial bids was kept as 70: 30
(Seventy: Thirty). In response to the RfP, three proposals, A, B & C were received. The
technical evaluation committee awarded the following marks as under:

A: 75 Marks
B: 80 Marks
C: 90 Marks

The minimum qualifying marks were 70 (Seventy) thus, all the three proposals were found
technically suitable. Using the formula T/Thigh, the following technical points are awarded by
the evaluation committee:

A: 75/90 = 83 points
B: 80/90 = 89 points
C: 90/90 = 100 points

The financial proposals of each qualified consultant were opened after notifying the date and
time of bid opening to the successful participants. The price evaluation committee examined
the financial proposals and evaluated the quoted prices as under:

A: Rs.120.
B: Rs.100.
C: Rs.110.

_________________________________________________________________
GMRC Page 19 of 22
Tender No: GMRC/DDC/METRO BHAWAN/AHMEDABAD/2023 NIT

Using the formula Clow/C, the committee gave them the following points for financial proposals:

A: 100/120 = 83 points
B: 100/100 = 100 points
C: 100/110 = 91 points

In the combined evaluation, thereafter, the evaluation committee calculated the combined
technical and financial score as under:

Proposal A: 83x0.30 + 83x0.70 = 83 points.


Proposal B: 100x0.30 + 89x0.70 = 92.3 points
Proposal C: 91x0.30 + 100x0.70 = 97.3 points.

The three proposals in the combined technical and financial evaluation were ranked as under:

Proposal A: 83 points: H-3


Proposal B: 92.3 points: H-2
Proposal C: 97.3 points: H-1

Proposal C at the evaluated cost of Rs.110 (Rupees One hundred and ten) was, therefore,
declared as winner and recommended for negotiations/approval, to the competent authority”

1.1.3.4 The tender submission of tenderers, who do not qualify the minimum eligibility criteria & bid
capacity criteria stipulated in the clauses 1.1.3.2 above, shall not be considered for
further evaluation and therefore rejected. The mere fact that the tenderer is qualified as
mentioned in sub clause 1.1.3.2 to 1.1.3.3 shall not imply that his bid shall automatically be
accepted. The same should contain all technical data as required for consideration of tender
prescribed in the ITT. Any other submission that changes substance of bid cannot be asked
during the evaluation process, only submission with tender is valid for evaluation.

In case of mismatch in financial data in the submitted documents i.e in Chartered Accountant
certified documents and data in audited balance sheet, the data from the audited balance
sheets shall prevail.
