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 (2)
- Social Value: 10
- Price: 90
- Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Passenger Taxi Transport Services and/or Transportation of Items –…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 120 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
