How this buyer will score bids.

Published award criteria (3)
- Technical Evaluation: Pass / Fail
- Bidders Capability: Pass / Fail
- Price: 100
- Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Audiology Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
