How QCBS scoring works

Quality-and-Cost-Based Selection is used for consultancy, DPR, PMC and design tenders where the cheapest bid should not automatically win. Your technical proposal is scored out of 100, and your price is converted to a financial score using (lowest price ÷ your price) × 100. The two are combined by weight — commonly 70:30 or 80:20 in favour of technical — to give a composite score, and the highest composite wins.

Because technical carries most of the weight, a strong methodology and the right key personnel usually matter more than shaving your price. BidShakti estimates your QCBS marks head by head for every consultancy tender it reads.
