Published award criteria (2)
- Quality and Social Value: 35% and 15%
- Price: 50%
- Suitability
Details provided in the tender documentation.
- Price carries 50 of 50 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Arboriculture Services (Non-PFI)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
