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 · Turf Products | 30 | 70 | |
| 2 · Topsoil (Premium Grade) | 30 | — | |
| 3 · Topsoil (General Purpose Grade) | 30 | 70 | |
| 4 · Topsoil (Economy Grade) | 30 | 70 | |
| 5 · Topsoil (Bulk Bags) | 30 | 70 |
- Price carries 70 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 7 points.
- “Framework Agreement for the Supply & Delivery of Turf Products & Topsoil” 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.
