Lots and requirements (7)Procurement structure
7 lots · all with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lotEvery one of these 6 lots carries the same published figure, £76,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

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 · Sustainability Consultants | 70% | 30% | |
| 2 · Multi Disciplinary Scotland | 70% | 30% | |
| 3 · Multi Disciplinary North West | 70% | 30% | |
| 4 · Multi-disciplinary North East | 70% | 30% | |
| 5 · Multi-disciplinary Central | 70% | 30% | |
| 6 · Multi-disciplinary South West | 70% | 30% | |
| 7 · Multi-disciplinary South East | 70% | 30% |
- Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
- “Decarbonisation Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 21 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
