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 | Environmental | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Surgical Gloves general surgery latex | 35% | 60% | 5% | |
| 2 · Surgical Gloves general surgery non latex | 35% | 60% | 5% | |
| 3 · Surgical Gloves enhanced grip & microsurgical latex | 35% | 60% | 5% | |
| 4 · Surgical Gloves microsurgical non latex | 35% | 60% | 5% |
- Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
- “Surgical Gloves” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 16 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

The Authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made) applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information, a summary of the reasons why the economic operators was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority dispatches the notice(s) and the date on which the Authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise, the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages.
