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.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Publication Advertising | 40% | 60% | |
| 2 · Targeted Media for Recruitment and Related Advertising | 60% | 40% | |
| 3 · Recruitment Events Support | 60% | 40% |
- Price carries 40–60 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
- “Media Buying 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.
