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
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 10–25 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 25 points.
  • “Ecological Supervision change to 2-stage method of work at Longwood…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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