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 · Onsite Radiographer Reporting | 50% | 50% | |
| 2 · Remote Radiographer Reporting | 50% | 50% | |
| 3 · Remote Radiologist Reporting | 50% | 50% | |
| 4 · Out of Hours Radiologist Reporting | 50% | 50% |
- Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
- “Radiology Reporting 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.
