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.
- Price carries 100 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 10 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
