Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality
  • Price
Lot distribution rule: Supplier to state Lot preference in their return
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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