2 Offers not meeting a) or b) or c) above will be declared non-responsive. Neither the responsive offer that receives the highest number of points nor the one that proposed the lowest price will necessarily be accepted.
3 The evaluated price per point of a responsive offer will be determined by dividing the total evaluated price for the entire period of the Standing Offer including the periods of extension by the total rating obtained for all point rated technical criteria.
4 The responsive offer to the Group Training Standing Offer with the lowest evaluated price per point will be recommended for the issuance of the Group Training Standing Offer as described in Annex "A" Statement of Work of the Request for Standing Offer EN578-112154/A. In the event two or more responsive offers have the same lowest evaluated price per point, these offers will be ranked in ascending order of total evaluated price for the entire period of the Standing Offer including the periods of extension. The responsive offer with the lowest total evaluated price for the entire period of the Standing Offer including the periods of extension will be recommended for the issuance of a Standing Offer.
5 The responsive offer to the Individual Training Standing Offer with the lowest evaluated price per point will be recommended for the issuance of the Individual Training Standing Offer as described in Annex "A" Statement of Work of the Request for Standing Offer EN578-112154/A. In the event two or more responsive offers have the same lowest evaluated price per point, these offers will be ranked in ascending order of total evaluated price for the entire period of the Standing Offer including the periods of extension. The responsive offer with the lowest total evaluated price for the entire period of the Standing Offer including the periods of extension will be recommended for the issuance of a Standing Offer.
6 If the offer is submitted by a joint venture, the overall experience of the members of this joint venture will be considered in the evaluation of the Offeror's experience.
7 The Offeror must submit a complete and separate offer for each Standing Offer, i.e. for the Group Training Standing Offer and/or for the Individual Training Standing Offer in which it wishes to be evaluated. It may submit an offer for both standing offers. However, to allow for the awarding of the two (2) standing offers to two (2) distinct contractors, the Offeror recommended for issuance of the Group Training Standing Offer will be withdrawn from the evaluation process for the Individual Training Standing Offer.
