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).
Lot awarding rule: Kingsteignton Town Council will evaluate tenders for the Clifford Park Pump Track on the basis of price, quality and overall value for money. Tenders will be assessed against the following criteria: Price and value for money - 40% Quality of proposed design and construction methodology - 30% Relevant experience and previous comparable projects - 15% Delivery programme and project management - 10% Health and safety arrangements - 5% Each quality criterion will be scored on a scale of 0-5, with scores converted into the relevant weighted percentage. Price will be assessed using a consistent formula set out in the tender documentation. The combined weighted scores will determine the highest-ranked submission. All tenders will be assessed fairly, transparently and consistently against the published criteria. The contract will not necessarily be awarded to the lowest-priced tenderer. The final contract award will be subject to formal approval by Kingsteignton Town Council.
No conditions of participation were published on the notice; check the tender documents.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly. Contracts Finder appears in live search, the Retender Radar, contract pages, organisation counts, the earlier contracts and past suppliers on a tender's competition panel, the buyer's decision figure and its award against estimate; the other analytical figures are built from Find a Tender notices.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
