Lots and requirements (3)Procurement structure
3 lots · all with a published value · same conditions of participation on every lot · evaluation weights differ by lotEvery one of these 3 lots carries the same published figure, £76,667,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

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.
- Economic & financial standing
The Contracting Authority reserves the right to require groupings of entities to take a particular form, or to require one party to undertake primary legal liability or to require that each party undertakes joint and several liability.
- Price carries 40–50 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
- “Cardiac and Pulmonary Diagnostics and Exercise (Stress) Testing…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
