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).
Published sub-criteria (1)
- price quality: 100%
Published award criteria (1)
- price quality: weightings price 60% quality 30% social value 10%
- Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “NEC4 FRAMEWORKS FOR CONSULTANCY SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH MINOR…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
