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).

| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Academic Content | 60% | 40% | |
| 2 · Film Content | 50% | 50% | |
| 3 · Television Recordings | 50% | 50% | |
| 4 · Online Training Platform | 50% | 50% |
- Price carries 40–50 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 50 points.
- “Online Streaming and Online Training 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.
