Published award criteria (2)
- Quality : Quality Evaluation: 30%, broken down as— Supply Chain, Delivery and Stock Management 10% Quality Assurance, Technical Compliance and Continuous Improvement 10% Social Value and Community Benefits 10%
- Price: Pricing Schedule - 70%
- 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.
- “Framework Agreement for the Supply & delivery of Kitchen Units and…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
