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 · Forensic Accountancy | 50% | 50% | |
| 2 · Electronic Data Extraction and Analysis Services | 50% | 50% |
- Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Review procedure
The UK does not currently have any such bodies with responsibilities for appeal/mediation procedures. CPD will comply with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and where appropriate, will incorporate standstill period(i.e. a minimum of 10 calendar days) at the point information on award of contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. This provides time for the unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into..
