How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 20 suppliers · 4 bids on the busiest of 2 lots (0.2 per place) · 4 appointed

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £5,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What it takes to win
i

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

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Conditions of participation1
  • Suitability

    Relevant selection criteria will be included in the SPD Module.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
  • “Term Framework for the Supply of Screening Compounds” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 20 suppliers, not a single contract.

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