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 3 lots

Lot distribution rule: Suppliers may submit a tender for one, two or all three Lots. Each Lot will be evaluated independently and the Supplier achieving the highest overall percentage score for each Lot will be awarded that Lot. Where the same Supplier achieves the highest score for multiple Lots, those Lots may be awarded to the same Supplier, subject to the Supplier meeting all relevant requirements.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
