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 7 lots
Quality: 35%Price: 45%Social value: 20%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 35
  • Social Value: 20
  • Price: 45
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 35 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “TC136 - Residential Furniture Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 35 suppliers, not a single contract.

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