What it takes to win

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 · Creative design50%30%20%
2 · Interior Design50%30%20%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
  • “Creative & Interior Design Framework” 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.
