How 28.5% became a pass mark

The report notes that the three bidders were requested to submit refreshed bids after the initial documents handed in last June.However, All Kasi did not heed this call and therefore the adjudicators had to use the company's initial bid. All Kasi was quickly off the blocks, amassing a healthy lead through 'soft points' when they got 5marks for being citizen owned, while the other two received none. The local company was to further surge ahead when it surpassed the tender equipment requirement. The local company provided 10, 249 units (of varied equipment), or 978 above BFA's expectation of 9,271. Umbro had 6,909 units, 2,362 less than what the mother body required, while Puma scored zero after it failed to indicate its quantities. (See EQUIPMENT table below) In the financial evaluation, Puma made progress, but some how hit a brick wall in the final analysis when BFA made its calculations. The association had indicated in the tender requirements that the successful company should be able to provide 150,000 Euros (approx. P1,5 million) per season for three years. While Puma promised to fulfil the requirement, the company made a proposal that BFA should purchase replica jerseys or an assortment of sporting goods worth R4.65million every year. The total Puma sponsorship was P2, 389 million, which would have left the BFA with a deficit of around P2, 261million (if the association had agreed to the proposal), which did not make business sense.
