The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

  • Quality: Q.1 Heritage: 20% Q.2 Delivery: 10% Q.3 Risk: 5% Q.4 Environmental Sustainability: 5%
  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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