Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 65%

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “DECONTAMINATION SERVICES AND SOLUTIONS (SBS 10183)” 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.
