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 · same split on all 2 lots
Price: 100%
Published sub-criteria (1)
  • Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents: 100%
Published award criteria (1)
  • Price is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documents: 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.
  • “Research Agency Framework for PIRU 2019-2023” 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.
