CATAI accepts no responsibility for misdirected, incomplete, or corrupted electronic submissions.

Section 6 — Evaluation Methodology

Evaluation proceeds in three stages. A bidder must pass each stage before the next is considered.

Stage 1 — Eligibility Check (Pass/Fail):

Envelope 1 is checked against the eligibility criteria in Section 4. A single failed criterion disqualifies the bid; its Financial Proposal will not be opened.

Stage 2 — Technical Evaluation (maximum 100 points; minimum pass mark 60 points):

• Technical compliance with item specifications — 40 points
• Quality of physical samples submitted — 20 points
• Packaging and kit-assembly quality — 10 points
• Warranty / replacement terms for defective or damaged items — 10 points
• Delivery timeline and logistics feasibility across all six locations — 20 points

Full scoring detail is set out in the Technical Evaluation Scoresheet issued alongside this Tender Document. Only bidders scoring 60 points or above proceed to financial evaluation.

Stage 3 — Financial Evaluation:

Among technically qualified bidders, CATAI will recommend the lowest evaluated, compliant bid for award. Where the price variance between the lowest and the next bidder exceeds 15%, this will be specifically noted and justified in the Minute of Supplier Selection.

CATAI reserves the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and is not bound to accept the lowest bid if it is found non-compliant, technically deficient, or otherwise unsatisfactory.

Section 7 — General Conditions

• Delivery: Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) to all six locations within 30 days of Purchase Order issuance.

• Tax: A Withholding Tax (WHT) of 2% applies to the value of goods supplied, deducted at the point of payment, in line with Nigerian tax law. Stamp duty does not apply to this transaction.
• Confidentiality: All information contained in this Tender Document is for the sole use of the bidder to whom it is provided and may not be disclosed to any third party without CATAI’s written consent.
