Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical Envelope: 60%
- price: 40%
Published award criteria (2)
- Technical Envelope: 60
- Price: 40
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “C002021 PEN Testing” 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.
