(1) Nebulous Criteria of Bid - Due to the undisclosed calculation formula and its coefficient for calculating the evaluation score, bidders may not know in advance weighted priority for scoring each cost element (price, technical evaluation, past record, BEE, social contribution, etc.). Therefore, bid evolution may be made without making black box transparent. - It is requested that the competent authorities in tender terms:
-- discloses clearly the calculation formula and its coefficient plus weighted cost elements, and
-- releases clearly the evaluation results.
