- Technical: 15%
- Sample Assessment: 35%
- Sustainability and Social Value: 10%
- Price: 40%
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Body Armour for Armed Response Officers” 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.
