2. e-TF Solution Functional Requirements
2.1 Broad Structure
The e-TF Solution should be implemented at IDBI Bank and should be accessed and operated by
the Clients and also from IDBI Bank's all offices, processing centers, branches, off-site locations,
etc. Post UAT, it is proposed to go for a pilot run at the Bank’s identified Trade Finance Center by

Net Banking System and use the Single sign-on credentials for its use. Further, the access to
various sub options in e-TF solution should be customizable for each client depending upon the
individual requirement.
The Solution shall broadly be divided into two parts. While, one part acts as an interface
between the Customer (i.e., Web Portal ) and the Bank’s staging/ processing area, the second
part acts as an interface between the Bank’s staging/ processing area and the Bank’s CBS (Core
Banking Solution). The solution should seamlessly integrate with the Internet Banking at Front-
end and with Finacle Core Banking at back-end. The integration with Finacle CBS should include
both financial and non-financial details (LC, BG, Bills etc information). The vendor should also

d) In Second stage, Technical evaluation will be done on 70-30 techno-commercial evaluation
method, 70% weightage for “Technical Bid evaluation criteria” and 30% weightage to the re-
sponse to “Commercial Bid”.
e) The Bidder need to submit the technical competency against all the modules mentioned in
the scope.
f) The TCO will be calculated considering all the modules license cost, Implementation cost and
Fixed AMC percentage for 3 years after the warranty period. For commercial evaluation TCO
will be considered.
g) The commercial bid must specify the cost of each module separately.
h) Bank retain the right to choose all or some or any of the modules even though the RFP is

2. Responses given by the Bidders to the requirements in the RFP Section 3 and other
relevant information provided in the proposal.
3. Demo and Evaluation / Site visit.
Methodology and relevant weight age is as follows:

The bidders scoring at least 60 out of 100 are eligible to participate in Commercial Bidding. Commercial Bids of only those Bidders having 60 or more marks will be opened. Financial bids of technically disqualified bidders shall not be opened and will be returned to the bidders.
j) In Third Stage, Commercial Evaluationwill be done by opening of the Commercial Bid of Bid-ders with >=60% mark in Technical Bid evaluation stage. Lowest bidder(L1) will be awarded 100 marks out of 100 and other bidders will be awarded marks keeping Lowest Bidder as Maximum as explained below:
The Final evaluation will be done on a total score of 100. Final Score will be arrived by taking 70 % of marks obtained in Technical evaluation (Second Stage) and 30 % marks obtained in Commercial Evaluation (Third Stage). On the basis of highest score arrived as per techno-commercial evaluation, the vendor will be called for negotiation before awarding the contract. Bank may, at its sole discre-tion, decide to seek more information from the respondents in order to normalize the bids. How-ever, respondents will be notified separately, if such normalization exercise as part of the technical or commercial evaluation is resorted to.
Total Score = 0.70 x T+ 0.30 x F
Where T= Total Technical Score and
F= Total Commercial Score
T = Tv /100 x 100 F= (LEC / EC) x 100
Acronyms: Tv stands for percentage of technical evaluation score out of Maximum 100 marks. F stands for percentage of a bidder’s commercial price compared to the lowest quoted price. EC stands for Evaluated Cost of the Commercial offer quoted for by the bidder. LEC stands for Lowest Evaluated Cost of the Commercial offer amongst the bidders. Refer Section 7 for further details.
