How this buyer will score bids.

Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20–25 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 25 points.
  • “West Yorkshire Mass Transit Network - Business Case Development Partner” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
