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

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot	Quality	Price
1 · Gas Engineering	70%	30%
2 · Electricity Engineering	70%	30%
3 · Distributed Energy Resources	70%	30%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
“Energy and Economic Services and Advice Framework Agreement” 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.
