17. Award criteria: The sole award criterion will be price. The
lowest-priced tender deemed to be compliant will be accepted.
The price will be the result of the total value of the activities
(installation, assembly, commissioning, training) and the
electromechanical supplies and works.
For the transformers, the price used will be the comparison price (Ca)
calculated using the following formula:
Ca = Co + 1158000*Pv + 715000*Pc;
Ca: tenderers' comparison price in F CFA;
Co: adjusted value of the tender in F CFA;
Pv: tenderers' guaranteed no-load loss kW rating;
