Published award criteria (2)
- Social value - proposal - experience track record and capability: 10%,35%,35%
- Price: 20%
- Price carries 20 of 20 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “English Programmes MENA and SSA Online English Language/Teacher…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
