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).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
13 more lots publish their own split on the notice.
- Price carries 90 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 9 points.
- “Laboratory Consumables” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 211 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
