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.
- Suitability
Candidates will be assessed in accordance with Section 5 of the 2015 Public Contract Regulations (implementing the directive) on the basis of information provided in response to an invitation to tender (ITT) registering for access.
- Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
- “Consultancy for Digital Connectivity” 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.

- Change Crown Commercial Service has extended RM6267 Construction Works and Associated Services 2 / ProCure23 for a period of 5 Months with effect from the original end date of 30 October 2026., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The timescales for the replacement commercial agreement, Construction Works and Services 3, have been delayed. The extension to this agreement is therefore required to ensure market stability, and a continuation of customer access to the existing commercial agreement as a potential route to market until its replacement is awarded.
