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

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

Lot	Quality	Price	Split
1 · Temp Devon IT	70%	30%
10 · Temp Cornwall Supported Housing	70%	30%
11 · Temp Cornwall Trade/AM	70%	30%

13 more lots publish their own split on the notice.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
“Recruitment Agencies - Temporary & Permanent” 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.
