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 · same split on all 4 lots
Quality: 40%Price: 60%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality
  • Price
Lot distribution rule: Suppliers are able to bid for and be awarded any number of lots. There are no restrictions.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “NRW Supplementary Plant Supply Framework 2026-30” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 32 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
