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).
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality: 50%
- Cost: 50%
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 50
- Cost: 50
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Carmarthenshire Construction Professional Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 70 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
