Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality: 30 % is for the answers to quality questions 10% attributed to Social Value
- 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.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
