How this framework works

From the published notice

Bids received: 12 bids on the busiest of 4 lots · 15 suppliers appointed

Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure

4 lots · 3 with a published value · evaluation weights differ by lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £500,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

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 · Paint, Ink, Brushes, canvases & Palettes	50%	50%
2 · Crayons, Chalk, Pastels, Charcoal & Chalk Markers	50%	50%
3 · Rollers, Stamps, Stencils & Table Coverings	50%	50%
4 · Easels, Drying Racks & Portfolios	50%	50%

What this means for your bid

Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
“Y22001 - Supply of Art Materials and Associated Equipment Supplies” 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.
