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 · Provision of Complete Audiology Patient Management System | 80% | 20% | |
| 2 · Provision of Ongoing Service, Maintenance and Support | 80% | 20% |
- Price carries 20 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 2 points.
- “National Framework Agreement for Audiology Patient Management Systems” 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.
