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
Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical Quality Response: 60%
- Commercial Response: 40%
Published award criteria (2)
- Technical Quality Response: There are 3 mandatory questions and 2 technical quality questions. The mandatory questions are pass/fail. The 2 quality questions are weighted at 30% each.
- Commercial Response: This will account for 40% of the overall tender.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
