Educational background (5 – Master’s degree in education or humanities; 10 – advanced degree, PhD degree in education or humanities) – 10 points;
Relevance of the experience in the field of gender equality (30 – 10-12 years; 40 – 13+ years) – 40 points
Specific experience in gender analysis and training (15 – 8-10 years; 20 – 11+ years) – 20 points;

UNDP will consider the price proposals only from the candidates that passed the minimum technical score of 70 points of the obtainable score of 100 points in the evaluation of the technical proposals.
Technical evaluation will be represented though the desk-review of applications and further interview of short-listed candidates.
The offer with highest scores obtained will receive a technically weighted score which will equal to 70. All other submissions that passed the 70 points threshold will be evaluated as per below formula:
A = T / T high*70, where:
T = The total technical score awarded to the bid,
T high = The Technical Score achieved by the bid that was scored highest among all responsive bids.
B) Financial evaluation:
UNDP will contact the successful candidates (those, who obtained 70% out of the 100 points during the technical evaluation) subject of providing the financial offer for proposed specific vacancy.
The maximum number of points assigned to the financial proposal is allocated to the lowest price proposal and will equal to 30. All other price proposals will be evaluated and assigned points, as per below formula:
B = C low / C*30, where:
C = Evaluated bid price,
C low= The lowest of all evaluated bid prices among responsive bids.
The proposal obtaining the overall cumulatively highest score after adding the score of the technical proposal and the financial proposal (A+B) will be considered as the most compliant offer and will be awarded a contract.
