method of marking a score or by using the criterion of pass or fail. If the overall points
score is formulated as the method of assessing technical aspects, it must stipulate a
minimum level for technical requirements of not less than seventy (70) per cent of the total
points for technical aspects; in the case of high technical requirements, this minimum level
for technical requirements must be stipulated as not less than eighty (80) per cent of the
total points for technical aspects. The equal footing prices for technical, financial and
commercial aspects of tenders which have passed the technical assessment stage shall then
be compared and ranked. The tender of the tenderer which has the lowest price on an equal
