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).

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Retail Decorative Solutions | 50% | 50% | |
| 2 · Trade Decorative Solutions | 60% | 40% | |
| 3 · Recycled Paint | 60% | 40% | |
| 4 · Furniture | 60% | 40% | |

- Price carries 40–50 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
- “Residential Furniture & Equipment” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
