    The Tender Award Stage is used to evaluate the Award Criteria of the submitted Tenders, in terms of Price and Quality to ascertain the Most Advantageous Tender.

    To satisfy the minimum requirements of Tai Tarian, Tenderers must score equal to, or higher than, the set threshold of 50% of the weighted Quality marks available for the Tender Award Stage in order to be successfully awarded the Contract. Any Quality scores lower than 50% will not be considered.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
