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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Advertisement for Publication | 40% | 50% | 10% | |
| 2 · Advertisement Campaigns | 60% | 30% | 10% |
- Price carries 30–50 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
- “Advertisement Campaigns Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 14 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
