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 distribution rule: Suppliers can bid for all Lots and are advised to bid for all relevant lots. However, the awardee of Lot 1 will not be able to be successful for Lot 2 and vice versa. This is to manage the risk to YPO of having just one 3PL Provider for most of its logistics provision. There are no other restrictions in respect of the remaining Lots. YPO will evaluate Lot 1 first and then evaluate Lot 2. If the same top ranking Supplier as Lot 1 is the top scoring Supplier for Lot 2 then YPO will exclude their scoring and award to the second best Supplier.
Conditions of participation1
