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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
- Technical & professional ability
Execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession
- Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
- “Specification of Requirements” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 8 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
