How bids were scored
Published award criteria (3)
- Price: Price will be assessed using the published pricing schedule and based on previous annual quantities for items in the price list.
- Quality: Quality will be assessed using 3 questions that are targeted to the service delivery required throughout this contract.
- Social Value: Social Value will be assessed using the published criteria. This is not a mandatory requirement.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
