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	Quality	Price	Split
1 · Supported Living - Lower Valley / Byw â Chymorth – Gwaelod y Cwm	60%	40%
2 · Supported Living - Upper Valley / Byw â Chymorth – Rhan Uchaf y Cwm	60%	40%

Lot distribution rule: The intention is to award each Lot to a single supplier - in the event one supplier scores highest in both Lots the second Lot will be awarded to the next highest scorer. Y bwriad yw dyfarnu pob Lot i un cyflenwr - os digwydd i un cyflenwr sgorio uchaf yn y ddwy Lot, bydd yr ail Lot yn cael ei roi i'r sgoriwr uchaf nesaf.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.

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