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).
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 75
- Price: 25
- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Supply and Delivery of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and…” 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.
