How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

2 · South Locality50%40%10%
Lot distribution rule: The Tender will result in one Tenderer for Central (Lot 1) and one Tenderer for South (Lot 2). Tenderers are entitled to submit a Tender for one or both lots. Tenderers are to state their preferred Lot in the Form of Tender that they wish to be awarded the Contract for should their Tender be the most advantageous tender for a Lot by indicating "1" against their first preferred lot and "2" against their second preferred Lot. Where a Tenderer does not intend to submit a Tender for a Lot, they should put an "N/A" against that Lot. The Tender process will be conducted to ensure that Tenders are evaluated fairly to ascertain the most advantageous tender for each Lot. Following the Tender process for each Lot, the Authority will award the Contract to the successful Tenderer for Lot 1 first, then Lot 2. Therefore, a Tenderer can win Lot 1 but not Lot 2. Lot 2 would then be offered to the next highest scoring tenderer regardless of their preference for Lot 2.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.

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