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.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Working at Heights | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 2 · Restricted and confined spaces | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 3 · Water Rescue Equipment | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 4 · Drones and Thermal Imaging Equipment | 90% | — | 10% | |
| 5 · Cutting Equipment and Tools | 90% | — | 10% | |
| 6 · Medical Response Equipment including defibrillators | 90% | — | 10% | |
| 7 · Emergency Shelters | 90% | — | 10% |
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Supply of Emergency Response, Rescue Equipment and Associated Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
