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 | Environmental | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Workwear | 35% | 60% | 5% | |
| 2 · Drill Suits and Leggings | 35% | 60% | 5% | |
| 3 · Wellington Boots | 35% | 60% | 5% | |
| 4 · Gloves | 35% | 60% | 5% |
- Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
- “Fire Cadet Uniform and Ancillary Items” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
