How this framework works
From the published notice- Places
- up to 10 suppliers · 6 bids on the busiest of 5 lots (0.6 per place) · 5 appointed
Lots and requirements (18)Procurement structure
18 lots · 10 with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 10 of them · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 4 lots carries the same published figure, £48,000: 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).
Published sub-criteria (4)
- Technical: 45%
- Assessment: 10%
- User Trials: 5%
- price: 40%
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Detection, Identification and Monitoring (DIM) Equipment Uplift” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
