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.

LotQualityPriceSocial valueEnvironmentalSplit
2 · Fruit & Vegetables (fresh)39%45%10%6%
4 · Dry, Tinned, Chilled and Disposable products39%45%10%6%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points.
  • “UKRI-3729 Framework Agreement for the provision of BGS Catering Food…” 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.
