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
Quality: 50%Price: 50%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number — sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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