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

How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot	Quality	Price	Split
1 · clinical liabilities, non-clinical negligence claims	100%	—
2 · regulatory, health and employment law	85%	15%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 15 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 1.5 points.
“Legal Services Framework” 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.
