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 | Environmental | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Lifting Equipment & Stair Lifts | 20% | 40% | 30% | 10% | |
| 2 · Through Floor Lifts & Step Lifts | 20% | 40% | 30% | 10% | |
| 3 · Track & Ceiling Hoists | 20% | 40% | 30% | 10% |
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “TC840 - Supply and Installation of Electrical Equipment and Adaptations” 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.
