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 · Multifunctional Devices and Associated Products and Services | 40% | 60% | |
| 2 · Print and Design Services | 60% | 40% |
- Price carries 40–60 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
- “Multifunctional Devices and Associated Products & Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 35 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
