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

Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Training Provision Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 84 suppliers, not a single contract.

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