Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £150,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

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

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 400 of 1000 points: a 10% discount moves about 40 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “NHMF Frameworx Disability Adaptations Framework Agreements” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.

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