Evaluation criteria should be stated up-front on the bid data sheet. The technical evaluation typically takes into account:

• Quality of the work plan

- services to be provided

- methodology and approach

- meeting performance standards and optimizing incentive compensation

- innovations and improvements

- training

• Quality of staffing plan

- detail of staffing plan

- appropriate experience reflecting required services in staffing plan

- professional qualifications and experience of key staff as shown in curricula vitae.

The financial evaluation is based on:

• Bid prices as readout (currencies, amounts, and modifications or comments)

• Corrections for:

- computational errors

- provisional sums

• Corrected bid price

• Exchange of bids to single currency

• Formula for scoring bids if weighted technical/financial evaluation.
