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 tenderer that achieves the highest overall score following evaluation. Submissions will be assessed using a weighted evaluation model comprising 40% quality and 60% price.

Each tenderer's quality and price scores will be combined to determine their final weighted score. The bidder with the highest total weighted score will be recommended for award.
