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
Price: 95%
Published award criteria (1)
  • Price: 95
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 95 of 95 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for the Supply of Sign Posts” 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.
