Published sub-criteria (3)
- Technical: 55%
- Price: 35%
- Social Value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
- Social Value: 10
- Technical: 55
- Price: 35
- Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Delivery of Practice Level Support” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
