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 · Lot 1a Buildings based Day Opportunities | 60% | 20% | 20% | |
| 2 · Lot 1b: Buildings based Day Opportunities with Transport | 60% | 20% | 20% | |
| 3 · Lot 2a: Home and Community Outreach | 60% | 20% | 20% | |
| 4 · Lot 2b: Home and Community Outreach with Transport | 60% | 20% | 20% |
- Price carries 20 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 2 points.
- “Framework for the Provision of Day Opportunities for Adults in…” 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.
