Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 70
- Price: 30
- Suitability
As Stated within the procurement documents
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Decarbonisation & Retrofit Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 100 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
