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).

| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · End-to-End Technical & Professional Services | 80% | 20% | |
| 2 · Place-making, masterplanning and design services | 50% | 50% |

Please see documents available on ProContract.
- Price carries 20–50 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
- “GMCA 847 Biodiversity Net Gain Support” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 26 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
