Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 300
  • Price: 700
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 700 of 1000 points: a 10% discount moves about 70 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Ceredigion Tree Works Framework 2023” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 18 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
