Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: 55%
- Social Value: 10%
- Price: 35%
- Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Hosted Electronic Solution for the Administration of Disclosure and…” 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.
