How bids were scored
Published award criteria (3)
- Social Value: 10
- Quality: 65
- Price: 25
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
