COMMITTEE.”
2.5.4 The completed Technical and Financial Proposals must be delivered at the submission
address on or before the time and date stated in the Appendix “ITC”. Any proposal
received after the closing time for submission of proposals shall be returned to the
respective consultant unopened.

immediately by the opening committee. The Financial Proposal shall remain sealed and
deposited with a responsible officer of the procuring entity up to the time for public
opening of financial proposals.
2.6 Proposal Evaluation General
2.6.1 From the time the bids are opened to the time the Contract is awarded, if any consultant
wishes to contact the procuring entity on any matter related to their proposal, they should
do so in writing at the address indicated in the Appendix “ITC”. Any effort by the firm
to influence the procuring entity in the proposal evaluation, proposal comparison or
Contract award decisions may result in the rejection of the consultant’s proposal.
2.6.2 Evaluators of Technical Proposals shall have no access to the Financial Proposals until
the technical evaluation is concluded.
2.7 Evaluation of Technical Proposal
2.7.1 The evaluation committee appointed by the procuring entity shall evaluate the proposals
on the basis of their responsiveness to the Terms of Reference, applying the evaluation
criteria as follows
Points
Experience of the firm related to the assignment (40%)
Approach and methodology (30%)
Qualifications and experience of key staff for the assignment (30%)
Total Points 100
Each responsive proposal will be given a technical score (TS). A proposal shall be
rejected at this stage if it does not respond to important aspects of the Terms of
Reference or if it fails to achieve the minimum technical score indicated in the
Appendix “ITC”.
2.8 Public Opening and Evaluation of Financial Proposal
2.8.1 After Technical Proposal evaluation, the procuring entity shall notify those consultants
whose proposals did not meet the minimum qualifying mark or were considered
non-responsive to the RFP and Terms of Reference, indicating that their Financial
Proposals will be returned after completing the selection process. The procuring entity
shall simultaneously notify the consultants who have secured the minimum qualifying
mark, indicating the date and time set for opening the Financial Proposals and stating
that the opening ceremony is open to those consultants who choose to attend. The
opening date shall not be sooner than seven (7) days after the notification date. The
notification may be sent by registered letter, cable, telex, facsimile or electronic mail.
2.8.2 The Financial Proposals shall be opened publicly in the presence of the consultants’
representatives who choose to attend. The name of the consultant, the technical scores
and the proposed prices shall be read aloud and recorded when the Financial Proposals
are opened. The procuring entity shall prepare minutes of the public opening.
2.8.3 The evaluation committee will determine whether the financial proposals are complete
(i.e. whether the consultant has costed all the items of the corresponding Technical
Proposal and corrected any computational errors.) The cost of any unpriced items shall
be assumed to be included in other costs in the proposal. In all cases, the total price of
the Financial Proposal as submitted shall prevail.
2.8.4 While comparing proposal prices between local and foreign firms participating in a
selection process in financial evaluation of Proposals, firms incorporated in Kenya
where indigenous Kenyans own 51% or more of the share capital shall be allowed a 10%
preferential bias in proposal prices. However, there shall be no such preference in the
technical evaluation of the tenders. Proof of local incorporation and citizenship shall be
required before the provisions of this sub-clause are applied. Details of such proof shall
be attached by the Consultant in the financial proposal.
2.8.5 The formulae for determining the Financial Score (FS) shall, unless an alternative
formulae is indicated in the Appendix “ITC”, be as follows: -
Fs = 100 X FM/F where Fs is the financial score; FM is the lowest priced financial proposal
and F is the price of the proposal under consideration. Proposals will be ranked
according to their combined technical Score (Ts) and financial Score (Fs) using the
weights (T=the weight given to the Technical Proposal: P = the weight given to the
Financial Proposal; T + p = I) indicated in the Appendix. The combined technical and
financial score, S, is calculated as follows: - S = Ts x T % + Fs x P %. The firm achieving
the highest combined technical and financial score will be invited for negotiations.
2.8.6 The tender evaluation committee shall evaluate the tender within 30 days from the date
of opening the tender.
2.8.7 Contract price variations shall not be allowed for contracts not exceeding one year (12
months).
2.8.8 Where contract price variation is allowed, the variation shall not exceed 10% of the
original contract price
2.8.9 Price variation requests shall be processed by the procuring entity within 30 days of
receiving the request.
2.9 Negotiations
2.9.1 Negotiations will be held at the same address as “address to send information to the
Client” indicated in the Appendix “ITC”. The aim is to reach agreement on all points
and sign a contract.
2.9.2 Negotiations will include a discussion of the Technical Proposal, the proposed
methodology (work plan), staffing and any suggestions made by the firm to improve the
Terms of Reference. The procuring entity and firm will then work out final Terms of
Reference, staffing and bar charts indicating activities, staff periods in the field and in
the head office, staff-months/days, logistics and reporting. The agreed work plan and
final Terms of Reference will then be incorporated in the “Description of Services” and
form part of the Contract. Special attention will be paid to getting the most the firm can
offer within the available budget and to clearly defining the inputs required from the
procuring entity to ensure satisfactory implementation of the assignment.
2.9.3 Unless there are exceptional reasons, the financial negotiations will not involve the
remuneration rates for staff (no breakdown of fees).
2.9.4 Having selected the firm on the basis of, among other things, an evaluation of proposed
key professional staff, the procuring entity expects to negotiate a contract on the basis
of the experts named in the proposal. Before contract negotiations, the procuring entity
will require assurances that the experts will be actually available. The procuring entity
will not consider substitutions during contract negotiations unless both parties agree that
undue delay in the selection process makes such substitution unavoidable or that such
changes are critical to meet the objectives of the assignment. If this is not the case and
if it is established that key staff were offered in the proposal without confirming their
availability, the firm may be disqualified.
2.9.5 The negotiations will conclude with a review of the draft form of the Contract. To
complete negotiations the procuring entity and the selected firm will initial the agreed
Contract. If negotiations fail, the procuring entity will invite the firm whose proposal
received the second highest score to negotiate a contract.
2.9.6 The procuring entity shall appoint a team for the purpose of the negotiations.
2.10 Award of Contract
2.10.1 The Contract will be awarded following negotiations. After negotiations are completed,
the procuring entity will promptly notify other consultants on the shortlist that they were
unsuccessful and return the Financial Proposals of those consultants who did not pass
the technical evaluation.
2.10.2 The selected firm is expected to commence the assignment on the date and at the location
specified in Appendix “A”.
2.10.3 The parties to the contract shall have it signed within 30 days from the date of notification
of contract award unless there is an administrative review request.
2.10.4 The procuring entity may at any time terminate procurement proceedings before contract
award and shall not be liable to any person or entity for the termination.
2.10.5 The procuring entity shall give prompt notice of the termination to the tenderers and on
request give its reasons for termination within 14 days of receiving the request from any
tenderer.
2.10.6 To qualify for contract awards, the tenderer shall have the following:
(a) Necessary qualifications, capability experience, services, equipment and facilities
to provide what is being procured.
(b) Legal capacity to enter into a contract for procurement
(c) Shall not be insolvent, in receivership, bankrupt or in the process of being wound
up and is not the subject of legal proceedings relating to the foregoing.
(d) Shall not be debarred from participating in public procurement.
2.11 Confidentiality
2.11.1 Information relating to evaluation of proposals and recommendations concerning awards
shall not be disclosed to the consultants who submitted the proposals or to other persons
not officially concerned with the process, until the winning firm has been notified that it
has been awarded the Contract.
2.12 Corrupt or fraudulent practices
2.12.1 The procuring entity requires that the consultants observe the highest standards of ethics
during the selection and award of the consultancy contract and also during the
performance of the assignment. The tenderer shall sign a declaration that they have not
and will not be involved in corrupt or fraudulent practices.
2.12.2 The procuring entity will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the consultant
recommended for award has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent practices in competing for
the contract in question.
2.12.3 Further a consultant who is found to have indulged in corrupt or fraudulent practices risks
being debarred from participating in public procurement in Kenya.
