Maximum Marks in Technical Evaluation 100 marks

7.1 Bidders securing equal or more than 70% will be qualified for the Financial bidding. Any bidder scoring less than 70 marks would not be eligible for further financial evaluation and consideration in the bidding process.

7.2 The combined score of the technical and financial evaluation of the technically qualified bidders as per the eligibility criteria, shall be calculated as per the formula:

Score (S) = (T/T High X 70) + (C Low/C X 30)

Where,

T = Technical evaluation score of the bidder

T High = Highest Technical score amongst the bidders

C Low = Lowest quote of financial bid amongst the bidders

C = Quote of financial bid by the bidder.

And the bidder, securing the highest score shall be shortlisted for the concerned assignment.

For example for calculation of the combined score for any one division,

Three bidder(s) A, B and C, have applied for a particular assignment. Technical score shall be

arrived at by treating the marks of the bidder scoring the highest marks (assuming bidder A) in

the technical evaluation as 100. The technical score of other bidders (B,C etc.) shall be computed

using the formula:

Technical Score = Marks of B/ Marks of the Highest Scorer (Assumed bidder A) X 70.

Similarly, financial score of the bidders, shall be arrived at taking the cost quoted by the L1

(Lowest bid quoted) bidder i.e., let the lowest quoted bidder be C, as 100. Marks of the other

bidders shall be calculated using the formula:

Financial Score = Cost of L1 Bidder /Cost quoted by Bidder X 30.

A "combined score" shall be arrived at, taking into account both Technical and financial scores of

each bidder with a weightage of 70% for technical score and 30% for Financial score. The

successful bidder shall be the one who has the highest combined score. For example,

Hence, bidder C, with the highest score of 96.31 becomes the successful bidder.

7.3 For each division, the H1 for that division will be offered to take up the contract. If the same agency is H1 in more than one division, the agency would have the option to select the divisions. Any agency would not be allowed to take more than three divisions.

7.4 After the first round of allocations, if there are any divisions that are left, agencies that are H2 for those divisions would be offered to take up the contract. If the same agency is H2 in more than one of the remaining divisions, the agency would have the option to select the divisions. Any agency would not be allowed to take more than three divisions.

7.5 After the second round of allocations, if there are any divisions that are left, agencies that are H3 for those divisions would be offered and the same process would be repeated.

Page 18 of 46

expected to invite DTO and RNTCP Staff in all its activities. PPSA should inform local STS/ STLS of their activities and invite them during events and use their expertise for better results.

2. Active Case Finding- In 10% key High risk population of the district

Step 1. Identify& map high risk / vulnerable population in local area with following guidance. If additional information is available locally, it can be used for prioritization of target groups. Symptom screening will be done in these identified and mapped target groups only (not in general population).

Step 2. Micro planning for urban areas:

• For planning and implementation purposes, urban areas should be divided into smaller planning

units based on municipal wards or assemblies and if this is not possible then by roads or

prominent landmarks.

• Involvement of local municipal bodies and their staff is essential in urban areas.

Page 19: DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH E-Tender(NIT) PPSA - RNTCP/2019-20103.94.204.36/WebContent/Tender/TB/Tender_RNTCP_NIT.pdf · related services under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program

Page 19 of 46

• Maps prepared for other campaigns like Pulse Polio, LCDC, etc must be used while planning for

urban areas.

Search and detection/diagnosis of TB suspects/cases during house to house (h-t-h) visits:

• During h-t-h activity, maps should be used to visit all houses systematically as per the micro plan.

No house should be left unvisited.

• Houses where residents were left due to non-availability of any member at the first visit should

be revisited at the time when inhabitants of the area are most likely to be available at their

homes.

o Revisit to houses: All or some eligible inhabitants of the house were not screened for

reasons should be re-visited.

• All such houses/ area, irrespective of cause should be revisited by teams during afternoon /

evening to examine the inhabitants of these houses. If not available revisit on next day, 7th &

14th day of ACF Campaign

3. Sputum Collection & Transportation- From field to DMCs, From Non DMC PHI to DMCs, From DMCs

to CBNAAT Site and CBNAAT site to CDST Laboratories

RNTCP has established Designated Microscopy Centres (DMCs) in the entire country, but there are still areas where accessibility to DMCs is sub-optimal. Sputum specimens collected will be subsequently transported to the nearest DMC, enhancing the coverage of RNTCP and improving convenience to patients.

Sputum collection from TB suspects [presumptive TB] referred from outpatients of the same facility, the surrounding community, and other facilities linked in the vicinity

• Collect diagnostic and follow up sputum specimens following RNTCP guidelines.

• Ensure adherence to guidelines on sputum collection in order to obtain good quality sputum samples.

Nikshay PoshanYojana including Bank detail collection

• A training will be provided by local DTO and RNTCP Staff to PPSA volunteers, treatment

supporters about DOTS.

• First home visit must be done within 7 days of diagnosis of the patient.

• During initial home visit, confirmation of address of the patient, linking patient to treatment

supporter must be done.

• Concerned treatment supporter must be registered under PHI/TU and linked with the patient.

• Patient should be counselled upon about the treatment, duration, cough etiquettes, drug

consumption, side effects, importance of completion of treatment, etc. Same way family

members of Patient also need to be counselled.

• If there is any other family member is suffering from same symptoms should be sent to nearest

PHI for screening of TB with prior counselling.

• Contact screening should be also done and all eligible children below 6 years of age should be

given Isoniazid 10 mg/Kg for 6 months.

• In case of PMDT patients all contacts must be strictly tested on CBNAAT.

provided by PPSA or RNTCP for the entire duration of treatment.

Monthly due list of patients for follow-up should be prepared. Patients must be given sputum cups/falcon tubes in advance to ensure timely follow-up. Outcomes should be given on real time basis.

5. Pre Treatment Evaluation- For DRTB Patients, pre-treatment evaluation needs to be done before

initiating on treatment

• Usually both Public patients and majority of private patients of Drug Resistant TB are managed in

Public sector hospitals.

• In Public Hospital, sometimes few investigations and test facilities are not available which are part

of pre-treatment evaluation, essential to do before starting DRTB patient’s treatment.

• For this some private lab or investigation facility can be identified and can be involved under

partnership guidelines. If patient approach seems difficult, a concept of relay station can be

thought of (for sample collection and transportation).

• Mutual agreement or MOU should be signed between public and private sector. Laboratory must

have accreditation certification.

• PPSA is expected to create the liasioning between RNTCP and private laboratories for the same.

Volunteers of PPSA can be trained on sample collection, transportation, etc.

Private Sector

1. Private Sector Engagement
