What it takes to win
i
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 6 lots

Quality: 70%Price: 10%Social value: 20%

Published award criteria (3)

Quality: 70
Social Value: 20
Price: 10

What this means for your bid

Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Provision of Organisational Development, Training and Wellbeing…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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