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 · Clinical functions | 90% | 10% | |
| 2 · Back Office functions | 90% | 10% | |
| 3 · Non-Clinical functions | 90% | 10% | |
| 4 · Any organisation awarded to two or more of the above lots. | 90% | 10% |
- Price carries 10 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 1 point.
- “National Framework Agreement for Managed 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.
