What it takes to win

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

Lot distribution rule: To encourage a mixed economy of contractors, restrictions will be established on Lots 2 to 4 so that Tenderers can bid for all lots but can only be appointed to one of those lots. The same restrictions will not be placed on Lot 1, meaning that suitable Tenderers could be successful on Lot 1 and one of Lots 2 to 4, should they offer both scopes of work.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Torus Contractors Framework - Lots 2 - 4” 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.
