Published sub-criteria (2)
- Customer Requirements: 30%
- price: 70%
Published award criteria (2)
- Customer Requirements: 30.00%
- Price: 70.00%
- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Drinking Water Dispensers and Associated Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 35 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
