How bids were scored
Published award criteria (2)
- Price: Part 1 Pricing weighted against 60% Part 2 Pricing weighted against 10%
- Quality
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.
- “Building Materials: Heavy” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
