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 valueSplit
1 · General Laundry Services503010
2 · Specialist Laundry Service603010
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “Y20022 - Laundry Services” 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.
