What it takes to win
i

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.

Lot distribution rule: Any combination of Lots 1-5
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50–70 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
  • “Cleaning Solutions” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 38 suppliers, not a single contract.

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