- Tenderers will be required to demonstrate sufficient economic and financial stability, as well as the necessary suitability and technical capability outlined in the SPD. Tenderers are required to achieve a minimum score of 50% in the SPD Experience examples. After successfully passing the SPD, tenderers must achieve a PASS in the Mandatory Goods requirements. Following successfully achieving a PASS in the mandatory goods requirements, a minimum of 50% must be achieved in the Quality Criteria.
