How bids were scored · same split on all 3 lots
Published award criteria (2)
- Price: Price weighting
- Quality : Quality aspect
Lot distribution rule: There is no restriction on the number of Lots a contractor may bid for. Contractors may submit a tender for any combination of Lots (1, 2 and/or 3), with a minimum requirement to bid for at least one Lot.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “BSS24005 -Works of Adaptations” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
