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
Quality: 30Price: 35Social value: 15
Published award criteria (3)
  • Social Value: 15%
  • Quality: 30%
  • Price: 35%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 80 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. Quality carries 30 of 80: the paper moves it further than the discount.

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