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).
How bids were scored
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Single Use Sterile Gown | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 2 · Patient and Equipment Drapes | 60% | 30% | 10% | |
| 3 · Single Use Head Protection | 40% | 50% | 10% | |
| 4 · Single Use Theatre Accessories | 40% | 50% | 10% |
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 30–50 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
- “Single Use Theatre Protective Wear and Related Consumables” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
