The information given in the Technical Document will be assessed to determine the substantial responsiveness of each Tender to the following criteria: (i) Submission of Tender Security (ii) Submission of ISO9001 Certificates (iii) Financial Capability (iv) International experience (see clause 1.10.2(c)) (v) Manufacture under Licence (see clause 1.10.2(c)) (vi) Programme (vii) Adherence to the Specification and other requirements of the Tender Document For the purposes of these Clauses a substantially responsive Tender is one which conforms to the above criteria without material deviation. The Purchaser's determination of a Tender's responsiveness is to be based on the contents of the Tender itself without recourse to extrinsic evidence. (b) A Tender determined as substantially non-responsive will be rejected by the Purchaser and may not subsequently be made responsive by the Tenderer by correction of the non-conformity. The Purchaser may in its absolute discretion waive any minor deviation or non-conformity or irregularity in a Tender which does not in the opinion of the Purchaser constitute a material deviation. 1.21.1.2 Stage 'B' (a) The Purchaser will assess the information provided in the Technical Document by the responsive Tenderers in accordance with the Evaluation Factors and Weights (A) - (F) given in sub-clause 1.21.3 and determine, based on the total score attained by each Tenderer, the Tenderers who qualify to have their Financial Document opened.

If the number of Tenderers qualified is small, then the Purchaser at his absolute discretion reserves the right to set the number of qualified Tenderers to at least three. 1.21.1.3 Stage 'C' (a) The envelope marked ""Financial Document"" submitted by each qualified Tenderer will then be opened (at a public opening) as per clause 1.17.
