The directive, released by the Ministry’s Deputy for Engineering,
Research, and Technology, is based on Article 3, Clause 6(b) of the law
governing the Ministry’s duties and authorities. It is designed to assess
contractors and suppliers involved in major contracts, including P, PC, EP,
EPD/EPC, and C agreements.
The ministry said the guideline aims to standardize performance
evaluations across its organizations, ensuring that capable contractors with
strong track records are engaged.
It also provides a framework for scoring contractors on “reputation”
and “experience,” in line with Articles 17, 18, and 24 of the Qualitative
Evaluation Regulations for Bidders, part of the broader public tendering law.
The directive will serve as the operational reference for all units under the
ministry in upcoming tenders.
