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 | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Chain & Bridle Mooring | 60% | 40% | |
| 2 · Shackles Mooring | 60% | 40% | |
| 3 · Sinkers - Buoy Mooring | 60% | 40% |
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “T0488 - ITT - FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR THE SUPPLY OF MOORING COMPONENTS…” 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.
