How this buyer will score bids.

The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

How bids were scored
Quality: 30%Price: 70%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 30
  • Price: 70
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “FMM-20-041 Supply and Delivery of Hand Sanitiser and Dispensers” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 10 suppliers, not a single contract.

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