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).

- Price carries 20–25 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 20 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
