Award criteria

Description
Suppliers bidding for the Welsh Government Print Framework are required to submit a separate and complete tender response for each individual lot they wish to be considered for. Each lot will be evaluated independently, and bidders must ensure that their submission fully addresses the requirements specific to that lot. A single bid submitted across multiple lots will not be accepted as covering all lots; therefore, suppliers must clearly identify and submit distinct responses for each lot they intend to bid for.
