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: The contracting authority reserves the right to award contracts combining the following lots or groups of lots: Lots 1 - 4. Lots 1- 4 will be individually evaluated, and multiple awards may result. Where the Tenderer is an Insurance Broker, it may choose to place the insurance(s) required within each Lot with different insurers at its discretion, but full details of the risk carrier(s) will be required.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60–100 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 100 points.

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