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
Quality: 60%Price: 30%Social value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: Quality will be the most important criteria with an overall weighting of 60%. Only bids that score a minimum of 30% for quality overall will be considered for further evaluation.
  • Price: Price for carrying out the contract requirements will be marked out of 30%. Price will only be evaluated if a minimum of 30% quality score has been achieved
  • Social value: Social value will be scored out of 10%. Social value will only be scored where a minimum of 30% has been achieved for quality
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
