Lots and requirements (5)Procurement structure

5 lots · 4 with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 4 lots carries the same published figure, £125,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What it takes to win
i

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 distribution rule: It is intended that up to two suppliers will be appointed to each sub-lot with procurement determined by the best basket price for the goods being purchased.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30–70 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 70 points.
  • “For the provision of Highways Products 2021-2025” 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.
