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).
Lot awarding rule: The contract will be awarded to the bidder submitting the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT), based on a combined evaluation of Technical (60%) and Commercial (40%) criteria. Technical responses will be scored on a scale of 0 to 4 and weighted to a maximum of 60 points. Bidders must achieve a minimum score of 2 out of 4 for each technical criterion and an overall weighted technical score of at least 30 out of 60 points (50%) to proceed to commercial evaluation. Commercial proposals will be scored out of 40 points, with the lowest-priced compliant bid receiving the maximum score and all other bids scored proportionately. The final score will be the sum of the technical and commercial scores, and the contract will be awarded to the bidder achieving the highest overall score.
