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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Social value | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Winter Maintenance Bulk Salt | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 2 · Winter Maintenance Products | 50% | 40% | 10% | |
| 3 · Winter Maintenance Gritting Services | 90% | — | 10% |
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Y230623 - Supply Winter Maintenance and Associated 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.
