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.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Internal Audit Services | 60% | 40% | |
| 2 · External Audit Services | 60% | 40% |
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
