Decree 95/2020/ND-CP stipulates 04 methods to evaluate bidding dossiers for consulting contractors who are organizations in procurement bidding according to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership as follows:

- The lowest price method is applied to simple consulting packages. The criteria for evaluating the bidding dossier are technical evaluation criteria. For bidding dossiers that have passed the technical evaluation step, the bidding price after error correction and deviation adjustment, minus the discount value (if any) is considered. The contractor with the lowest price is ranked first;- The fixed price method is applied to simple consulting packages, where the implementation cost of the package is specifically and fixedly determined in the bidding documents. The criteria for evaluating the bidding dossier are technical evaluation criteria. For bidding dossiers that have passed the technical evaluation step, with the bidding price after error correction and deviation adjustment, minus the discount value (if any) not exceeding the package implementation cost, the technical score is used to compare and rank. The contractor with the highest technical score is ranked first;- The combined technical and price method is applied to consulting packages that emphasize both quality and implementation cost of the package. The criteria for evaluating the bidding dossier are technical evaluation criteria and composite evaluation criteria. The composite evaluation criteria are built based on a combination of technical and price scores. When constructing composite evaluation criteria, it must ensure the principle that the weighting of technical points is from 70% to 80%, the price points from 20% to 30% of the total composite score, and the weighting of technical points plus the weighting of price points equals 100%. The contractor with the highest composite score is ranked first;- The technically-based method is applied to consulting packages with high and specific technical requirements. The criteria for evaluating the bidding dossier are technical evaluation criteria. When constructing technical evaluation criteria, a minimum point requirement not lower than 80% of the total technical points must be stipulated. The contractor with a bidding dossier that meets the minimum technical point requirement and has the highest technical score is ranked first and is invited to open the financial proposal dossier as the basis for contract negotiation.
