Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: An overall weighted score for the "Quality" criterion referred to (out of the maximum of 70%) will be determined by reference to the detailed sub-criteria and scoring mechanism described in the Technical Envelope. An overall weighted score for the "Price" criterion referred to (out of the maximum of 30%) will be determined by reference to the scoring mechanism described in the Commercial Envelope.
  • Price: An overall weighted score for the "Quality" criterion referred to (out of the maximum of 70%) will be determined by reference to the detailed sub-criteria and scoring mechanism described in the Technical Envelope. An overall weighted score for the "Price" criterion referred to (out of the maximum of 30%) will be determined by reference to the scoring mechanism described in the Commercial Envelope.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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