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 | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · St Bernadette Catholic Secondary School | 55% | 45% | |
| 2 · Hillcrest Primary School | 55% | 45% |
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 45 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
