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
  • Simple description: 100% Quality. This is a framework with 15 Lots. You do not have to bid for all lots and only have to complete the tender documents once and not per Lot. Spend is not guaranteed on any lot.
What this means for your bid
  • “Consultancy Framework - Lotted” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
