Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
- Suitability
As defined in the tender documents
- Price carries 100 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 10 points.
- “Extension - Radiology Reporting and Associated Services Framework…” 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.
