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 distribution rule: Agreements can be awarded to one supplier for each lot 1-3. These can be the same supplier or different suppliers. Lot 4 can be awarded only to the OEM for the reasons of ownership of intellectual property of the designs for the work required.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “Conveyor Overhauls, Repairs and Maintenance” 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.
