Published award criteria (3)
  • Price: Price = 30%
  • Quality: Quality = 60%
  • Social Value: Social Value = 10%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
