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.

LotQualityPriceSplit
1 · Cloud Hosting30%70%
2 · Cloud Software100%—
3 · Cloud Support100%—
Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability
    Candidates will be assessed in accordance with Section 5 of the 2015 Public Contract Regulations (implementing the directive) on the basis of information provided in response to an invitation to tender (ITT).
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 points on every lot — a 10% discount moves about 7 points.
  • “Ceredigion - Single Persons Discount and Premium Avoidance Review System” is a framework — the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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