What it takes to win
i

How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “AA-513-24 Network Cabling Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
