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

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored
Quality: 60%Price: 30%Social value: 10%
Published sub-criteria (3)
  • Technical Questionnaire: 60%
  • Commercial Questionnaire: 30%
  • Social Value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Technical Questionnaire: This contains the Technical questions to which Tenderers are to provide their responses and is to be downloaded, completed and uploaded back into the E-Tendering Portal by Tenderers. Tenderer responses to the specific questions relating to the Contract Opportunity must be made in accordance with the instructions provided in the Questionnaire.
  • Commercial Questionnaire: All Tenderers are required to complete the Commercial Questionnaire in full. A Tender containing a Commercial Questionnaire that is not completed in full shall be a non-compliant Tender and any such Tender shall be disregarded and excluded from further assessment
  • Social Value
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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