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	Social value
1 · Depots and Lineside	30	60	10
2 · Stations and Non-Lineside Infrastructure	—	40	—
3 · Mechanical and Electrical	—	40	—
4 · Station Painting	—	40	—

What this means for your bid

Price carries 40–60 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
“Scotland's Railway Surfacing Framework” 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.
