| Lot | Quality | Price | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Electrical and Battery-Operated Infusion Pumps | 60% | 30% | 10% | |
| 2 · Pump Dedicated Administration Sets | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 3 · Gravity Administration Sets | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 4 · Disposable Infusion Pumps | 50% | 40% | 10% | |

- “Infusion Pumps, Administration Sets and Associated Products 2026” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
