states “that

Remanufacturing returns a used product to at least its original performance with a warranty

that is equivalent

4 / 10

or better than that of the newly manufactured product. With respect to Remanufacturing –

manufacturing

effort involves dismantling the product, the restoration and replacement of components and

testing of the

individual parts and whole product to ensure that it is within its original design specifications;

performance

after Remanufacturing is expected to be at least to the original performance specification;

and – any subsequent warranty is generally at least equal to that of new product. This assumes that

Remanufacturing applies to likefor-like products.”

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	Quality	Price
1 · IT Hardware	40%	60%
2 · Remanufactured IT Hardware	70%	30%
3 · Refurbished IT Hardware Products	70%	30%
4 · IT Hardware Repair, Disposal and Recycling	100%	—

What this means for your bid

Price carries 30–60 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 30 points.
“ICT Hardware - Technical Hub” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 40 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
