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 | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Spinal Implants & Consumables | 15% | 85% | |
| 2 · Spinal Biologics / Regenerative Technology | 15% | 85% | |
| 3 · Spinal Power Tools and Consumables | 100% | — | |
| 4 · Spinal Capital Equipment | 100% | — |
- Price carries 85 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 8.5 points.
- “ALL WALES SPINAL IMPLANTS & CONSUMABLES” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
