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).
How bids were scored
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Property | 80% | 20% | |
| 2 · Housing and Asset Management | 80% | 20% | |
| 3 · Corporate and Finance | 80% | 20% | |
| 4 · Employment | 80% | 20% |
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 20 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 2 points.
- “Legal Services” 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.
