Most Common Mistakes made By Potential Suppliers/Bidders: Do not address the functional scoring items in the proposal prospective suppliers should be able to score themselves in the outline of their submission Documentation requested as proof are not always provided with proposal such as certificates, proof of experience, CV s etc. Provide outdated or no Tax and B-BBEE certificates. No business can be conducted without having a valid Tax clearance certificate. No scoring for an outdated B-BBEE or if the B-BBEE certificate is not provided. Bidders do not adhere to the closing date and time, specifically the closing time. Proposals will not be accepted or evaluated after the closing time. When stating that all prices submitted must be firm, and further stated that Firm prices are deemed to be fixed prices, which are only subject to the following statutory changes, namely VAT, and validity of RFQ to be 60 days or RFP/RFB to be valid for 120 days, suppliers do request price escalations soon after an award, which will not be acceptable. Make sure of your pricing structures prior to bidding.
