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 · Architecture under £50k | 60% | 40% | |
| 2 · Architecture over £25k | 70% | 30% | |
| 3 · Highways Civils under £50k | 60% | 40% | |
| 4 · Highways Civils over £25k | 70% | 30% | |
| 5 · Building Surveying over £50k | 60% | 40% | |
| 6 · Building Surveying over £25k | 70% | 30% | |
| 7 · Growth and Infrastructure under £50k | 60% | 40% | |
| 8 · Growth and Infrastructure over £25k | 70% | 30% |
- Price carries 30–40 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
- “Professional Services Framework 4” 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.
