How bids were scored

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

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40–55 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
  • “CHIC LEGAL SERVICES FRAMEWORK 2024-2028” 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.
