What it takes to win

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 3 lots
Quality: 30%Price: 70%
Published sub-criteria (2)
  • Qualitative: 30%
  • Price: 70%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Price
  • Qualitative: Qualitative scoring - assessed on responses detailing the following: 1) Claims Handling; 2) Breadth of Cover; & 3) Added Value
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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