1.4 Establishment and handling of the evaluation criteria and weighting factors<br />

Pursuant to Article 25 of the Procurement Regulations and based on the proposal made<br />

by the Joint Secretaries, the TEB shall establish the evaluation criteria, and the<br />

associated weighting factors.<br />

Evaluation criteria are applied by the TEB to determine the strengths and weaknesses of<br />

a proposal by separate evaluations of its various aspects.<br />

The number of evaluation criteria shall never be less than two and no more than five.<br />

1.4.1 Evaluation criteria shall be established and published for each RFP. Once<br />

approved, the evaluation criteria shall be binding for the evaluation.<br />

1.4.2 For the establishment of the evaluation criteria:<br />

i. Where standard evaluation criteria for RFPs have been established within the<br />

Framework Agreement the TEB shall use such criteria.<br />

ii.<br />

iii.<br />

Where, within the same Framework Agreement, for a previous RFP covering<br />

identical supplies or services evaluation criteria have bee established by a TEB,<br />

such previously established evaluation criteria shall be used unless it was<br />

considered subsequently that such criteria were not adequate.<br />

Where none of the two cases above apply, the TEB shall be free to establish<br />

such evaluation criteria as it sees fit, provided that:<br />

a. all significant parts of the RFP are covered, and<br />

b. such criteria do not repeat the criteria which served as a basis for the<br />

initial selection of the framework contractors. 25<br />

1.4.3 When establishing criteria, the TEB shall inasmuch as possible follow established<br />

practice and shall take into consideration the following:<br />

i. evaluation criteria shall be well defined, logically distinct and avoid duplication;<br />

and,<br />

ii.<br />

evaluation criteria shall not create unfair advantage for one framework<br />

contractor over another.<br />

1.4.4 Weighting factors<br />

i. The TEB shall attribute weighting factors against each of the evaluation criteria<br />

it establishes and shall publish them in the RFP.<br />

25 Evaluation Criteria should not among others be ones covering the technical ability, or relevant<br />

experience of framework contractors etc. since this should have been the basis for their initial selection.
