Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 100
- Price: 100
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 100 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 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.
