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).
How bids were scored
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Criterion 2 — 60%
- Criterion 1 — 40%
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring — the tender pack may use another formula.
