Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 50
- Price: 50
- Technical & professional ability
Execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Architect Framework for the South West Region” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
