ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 Question 64
Procurement is performed by using the comprehensive evaluation bidding method under the conditions shown below. When the bidding prices and technology points of Companies A to D are as shown in the table below, which of the following is the successful bidder?
[Conditions]
[Bidding price and technology points of Companies A to D]
Explanation
Company C, with 90 points — once the bid above the target price is excluded, C has the highest sum of price points and technology points.
Company D bids 110 thousand dollars, above the 100,000-dollar target price, so it is not evaluated. For the others, price points are 100 × (1 − bidding price ÷ target price):
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- •(a) Company A — the cheapest bid earns the most price points, 30, but its 50 technology points leave it at 80
- •(b) Company B — 20 + 65 = 85, still 5 points short of C
- •(d) Company D — its bid exceeds the target price, so it is not evaluated at all; even if it were, its price points would be (1 − 1.1) × 100 = −10 and its total of 90 would only tie C
Key rule: In comprehensive evaluation bidding, first discard bids above the target price, then rank by price points plus technology points, not by price or technology alone.
