Pre-Qualification Criteria Only Proposals that meet all of the pre-qualification criteria will be evaluated. 5.3. Technical Evaluation 5.3.1. Scoring Method Your Proposal will be assigned a score from 0 to 10 for each of the technical evaluation criteria, such that 0 is low and 10 is high. 5.3.2. Minimum Quality Thresholds Proposals that receive a score of 0 for any of the criteria will not be considered further. 5.3.3. Technical Score Your score for each technical evaluation criterion will be multiplied with the respective relative weight (see Section 4.4) and these weighted scores added together to give your Proposals overall technical score. 5.4. Financial Evaluation and Financial Scores The financial evaluation will be based upon the full total price you submit. Your Financial Proposal will receive a score calculated by dividing the lowest Financial Proposal that has passed the minimum quality thresholds (see Section 5.3.2) by the total price of your Financial Proposal. Thus, for example, if your Financial Proposal is for a total of EURO100 and the lowest Financial Proposal is EURO 80, you will receive a financial score of 80/100 = 80% 5.5. Total Score Your Proposals total score will be calculated as the weighted sum of your technical score and your financial score. The relative weights will be: Technical: 70% Financial: 30% Thus, for example, if your technical score is 83% and your financial score is 77%, you will receive a total score of 83 * 70% + 77 * 30% = 58.1% + 23.1% = 81.2%. Subject to the requirements in Sections 4 and 7, IUCN will award the contract to the bidder whose Proposal achieves the highest total score. 6. EXPLANATION OF PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE 6.1.
