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
1 · General English Law	80%	20%
2 · Scottish Law	80%	20%
3 · Employment Law and Ancillary Legal Services	60%	40%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 20–40 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 20 points.
“Legal Services” 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.
