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).
Published sub-criteria (3)
- Quality Evaluation: 30%
- Price: 65%
- Social Value: 5%
Published award criteria (3)
- Price: Refer to the ITT for details on how the price will be evaluated
- Quality Evaluation: Refer to the ITT for details on how the quality will be evaluated
- Social Value: Refer to the ITT for details on how the social value will be evaluated
- Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Repair of Electrical and Refrigeration Catering Equipment, Planned…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
