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

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot	Quality	Price	Split
1 · Ash Dieback Tree Felling - Highways	60%	40%
2 · Ash Dieback Tree Felling - Trails	60%	40%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.

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