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.

Lot	Quality	Price
1 · Ballpoint and Retractable instruments	50%	50%
2 · Highlighters	50%	50%
3 · Drawing Pencils and Pencils	50%	50%
4 · Drywipe Markers	50%	50%
5 · Art and Craft Instruments	50%	50%
6 · Colouring Pens and Pencils	50%	50%
7 · Miscellaneous Pens	50%	50%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
“Writing and Colouring Instruments – Y21016” 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.
