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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Local maintenance | 70% | 30% | |
| 2 · Supply and Install | 60% | 40% |
- Price carries 30–40 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
