How bids were scored
Price: 100%
Published sub-criteria (1)
  • Price is not the only award criteria and all criteria is stated in the tender documents: 100%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Price is not the only award criteria and all criteria is stated in the tender documents: 0
  • Price is not the only award criteria and all criteria is stated in the tender documents: 100
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 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.
