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 | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · North Devon | 20 | 70 | 10 | |
| 2 · Mid Devon | 20 | 10 | 10 | |
| 3 · Haldon | 30 | 10 | 10 | |
| 4 · Dartmoor | 20 | 10 | 10 | |
| 5 · Cornwall | 20 | 70 | 10 | |

| 7 · Exmoor & Quantocks | 20 | 70 | 10 | |
| 8 · East Devon | 20 | 70 | 10 |
- Price carries 10–70 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 70 points.
- “Forest Maintenance Framework - West England Forest District…” 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.
