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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · EV Charging Infrastructure and Car Park Management System | 70% | 30% | |
| 2 · Battery Storage and Solar Canopies | 70% | 30% | |
| 3 · Wireless Charging Infrastructure | 60% | 40% | |
| 4 · E- Mobility | 100% | — |
- Price carries 30–40 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 30 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
