Published award criteria (2)
  • QUALITY: 60
  • PRICE: 40
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “FEC 3079723 FE (Further Education) Colleges Integrated Consultancy…” 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.
