- Social Value: 5
- Price: 75
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 75 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Drainage Investigation and Maintenance Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
