The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · West Midlands & East Midlands | 110 | 120 | 10 | |
| 2 · North East and Yorkshire and Humber | 100 | 120 | 10 | |
| 3 · North West | 100 | 120 | 10 |

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