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 award criteria (3)
- Quality: 560
- Social Value: 40
- Price: 400
- Price carries 400 of 1000 points: a 10% discount moves about 40 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “NHMF Frameworx Estate Services Framework Agreements 2023” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
