Published sub-criteria (2)
- Supply Chain Arrangements: 10%
- Price: 90%
Published award criteria (2)
- Supply Chain Arrangements: 10
- Price: 90
- Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “DoF – Collaborative Arrangement – Provision of Vehicle and Plant Hire…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 27 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
