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 | Social value | Environmental | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Paper and Card | 15 | 55 | 15 | 15 | |
| 2 · General Stationery | 15 | 55 | 15 | 15 | |
| 3 · Electronic Office Supplies Original Equipment Manufacturers (EOS OEM) | 15 | 55 | 15 | 15 | |
| 4 · Electronic Office Supplies Remanufactured and Compatible Cartridges | 15 | 55 | 15 | 15 | |
| 5 · Envelopes | — | 55 | 15 | 15 | |
| 6 · Labels | — | 55 | 15 | 15 | |
| 7 · Technology | — | 55 | 15 | 15 |
- Price carries 55 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5.5 points.
- “Office Supplies” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 40 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
