Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical: 70%
- price: 30%
Published award criteria (3)
- Cyber Security: Pass/Fail
- Technical: 70
- Price: 30
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Due Diligence Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
