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

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot distribution rule: The Lot structure is indicative at this stage and will be confirmed in any resultant Contract Notice. \n\nTenders may be submitted for all lots.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30–60 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 30 points.
  • “Provision of pest control services at NWSSP sites” 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.
