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
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60–65 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 60 points.
  • “FRAMEWORK AWARDED FOR THE SUPPLY OF IT HARDWARE, NETWORKING & SECURITY…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
