REEMAP
The Bidders will be assigned a Technical Score by averaging the scores of both the
Consortium members.
Illustration: If Academic/ Research Entity has secured 40 points during its Technical
Evaluation & Technical Agency entity has secured 36points during its Technical Evaluation
then the Technical Score of the Bidder is : (40+36)/2 = 38
6.4.6

6.4.6.3
The Total Financial Score for other Bidders will be pro-rata and computed in the following

Total Composite Score = (Total Technical Score x 60%) + (Total Financial Score x 40%)
6.5.3
The Bidder scoring highest Total Composite Score would be declared as the Successful
Bidder. In case of Bidders having the same Total Composite Score, the Bidder with the
