The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

How bids were scored · same split on all 5 lots
Price: 100%
Published award criteria (1)
  • Price: 100%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Provision of Passenger Transport Services for Children & Adults –…” is a dynamic market: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 100 suppliers, not a single contract.

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