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 · same split on all 2 lots
Price: 190Social value: 10
Published sub-criteria (3)
  • Commercial: 90
  • price: 100
  • Social Values: 10
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 190 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 19 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “The Supply of Expeditionary Protective Structures and Spares” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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