What it takes to win
i
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).

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more

How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Lot	Quality	Price	Social value
1 · Binding Machines	40	50	10
2 · Laminators	40	50	10
3 · Trimmers and Guillotines	40	20	10
4 · Shredders	40	50	10

What this means for your bid

Price carries 20–50 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 50 points.
“Office Machinery – Y23032” 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.
