Tender No: GMRC/DDC/ELEV-VDCT+STNS/SURAT/PH-I EXT./2026 NIT

B. Financial Standing: The tenderers will be qualified only if they have minimum financial capabilities

(i) T1 – Liquidity: 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 the 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 0.42 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

And liquidity of member-2 ≥ W N.

(ii) T2 - Net Worth: Net Worth of tenderer during last audited financial year should be > INR

Crores. In Case of JV/Consortium- Net worth will be based on the percentage participation of each

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

(iii) T3 - Annual Turnover: The average annual turnover from consultancy works of last five financial

years should be > Rs 1.69 Crores.

The average annual turnover of JV/Consortium will be based on percentage participation of

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

(iv) T4 - Bid Capacity Criteria:

Bid Capacity: The tenderers will be qualified only if their available bid capacity is more than

the approximate cost of work as per NIT. Available bid capacity will be calculated based on

the following formula:

GMRC September 2026 Page 14 of

Tender No: GMRC/DDC/ELEV-VDCT+STNS/SURAT/PH-I EXT./2026 NIT

Available Bid Capacity = 2*A*N – B

A = Maximum of the value of consultancy works executed in any one year during the last five

financial years (updated to last day of the month previous to the month of tender submission

price level assuming 10% inflation for Indian Rupees every year and 2% for foreign currency

portions per year, on compounding basis)

N = No. of years prescribed for completion of the work

B = Value of existing commitments (as on last day of the month previous to the month of tender

submission ) and on-going consultancy works to be completed during period of 24 months w.e.f.

from the first day of the month of tender submission.

Example for calculation of bid capacity in case of JV / Consortium / Group

Suppose there are ‘P’ and ‘Q’ members of the JV / Consortium / Group with their participation

in the JV / Consortium / Group as 70% and 30% respectively and available bid capacity of

these members as per above formula individually works out ‘X’ and ‘Y’ respectively, then Bid

Capacity of JV / Consortium / Group shall be as under:

Bid Capacity of the JV / Consortium / Group = 0.7X + 0.3Y

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 such a case the financial data of previous ‘4’ audited financial years will be taken

into consideration for evaluation. If audited balance sheet of any year other than the last year

is not submitted, the tender will be considered as non-responsive.

b) However, the tenderer including all substantial members of JV / Consortium should have been

incorporated more than three years earlier from the last day of the previous month of tender

submission end date. In this case, for such tenderer, the average annual turnover shall be

arrived considering ’nil’ turnover for the financial year(s) for which tenderer was not able to

submit audited balance sheet on account of non-incorporation of tenderer. Such data shall be

divided by 5 to work out the average annual turnover. In case balance sheet of the last year

has not been audited so far, then data shall be divided by 4 to work out the average annual

c) 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.

d) Financial data for latest last five financial years has to be submitted by the tenderer in

Appendix -15 of FOT along with audited financial statements. The financial data in the

prescribed format shall be certified by the Chartered Accountant with his stamp and signature

in original with membership number and firm registration number.

e) Value of existing commitments for on-going consultancy works during period of 24 months

w.e.f. from the first day of the month of tender submission has to be submitted by the tenderer

GMRC September 2026 Page 15 of

Tender No: GMRC/DDC/ELEV-VDCT+STNS/SURAT/PH-I EXT./2026 NIT

in Appendix – 16 of FOT. These data shall be certified by the Chartered Accountant with his

stamp and signature in original with membership number and firm registration number.

f) In the case of a group, the above formula will be applied to each member to the extent of his

proposed participation in the execution of the work. If the proposed % participation is not

mentioned then equal participation will be assumed.

g) Detailed technical evaluation on QCBS method shall be carried out in accordance of Para

1.1.3.4, only for those bidders who have qualified in Minimum Eligibility Criteria as per para

1.1.3.3 Consultant shall be selected under QCBS (Quality cum Cost Based Selection) process with

70% and 30% weights for Technical Proposal and Financial Proposal respectively. At this stage

(i.e QCBS stage), Proposal shall be rejected if it does not respond to important aspects of the

Tender Document, and particularly the Employers Requirement or if it fails to achieve the

minimum technical score of 70%. Financial Proposal shall be opened only for bidders whose

technical proposal is considered technically acceptable (i.e who have scored minimum

technical score of 70%) The tender submission of tenderers, who do not qualify the minimum

eligibility criteria stipulated in the clauses 1.1.3.2 as above, shall not be considered for further

evaluation and therefore rejected. If the tenderer fails to meet the eligibility and qualification

criteria, then further scrutiny of other technical parameters will not be done and Financial

Proposals of such Tenderers shall not be opened. The mere fact that the tenderer is qualified

as mentioned in sub clause 1.1.3.2 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 Clause 1.1.3.4. Technical proposals meeting the Technical requirement and found

substantially responsive only will be qualified for opening of their Financial Proposal.

1.1.3.4 CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION

C. Quality of Bid

Evaluation Parameter Total Marks

The Bid will be scored by Tender Committee based on the 18 marks

• Understanding of Scope of Work, Approach &

Methodology; = 8 Marks

• Work Plan; = 10 Marks

(Refer Annexure – 1 & 2 of ITT)

Eligible Bidders will be invited to give a 20 minute

*presentation regarding the above points.

*Date of presentation to be communicated later. In case GMRC decides not to go for presentation, all

18 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).

1.1.3.5 (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

GMRC September 2026 Page 22 of

Tender No: GMRC/DDC/ELEV-VDCT+STNS/SURAT/PH-I EXT./2026 NIT

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

1.1.3.5 (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;-

“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)

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

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

(Seventy) and the weightage of the technical bids and financial bids was kept as 70:

(Seventy: Thirty). In response to the RfP, three proposals, A, B & C were received. The

technical evaluation committee awarded the following marks as under:

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

time of bid opening to the successful participants. The price evaluation committee examined

the financial proposals and evaluated the quoted prices as under:

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”
