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).
Published award criteria (2)
- Price: Total cost
- Social Value: Social Value assessment. The social value assessment is a combination of a qualitative assessment and quantitative assessment. Further information can be found in Part 6 Social Value Requirement and Part 8 Short Set Social Value Calculator.
- Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
