Published award criteria (2)
- Price: Overall cost of the service over the contract period.
- Quality: Technical capacity, expertise and relevant experience.
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
