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
  • Price is not the only award criterion: Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents
What this means for your bid
  • “NHS National Branded Interim - 1 June 2026” 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.
