Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: The quality element will make up 65% of the total score. It is broken down as follows: Question 2.1 10% Question 2.2 10% Question 2.3 15% Question 2.4.1 12.5% Question 2.4.2 12.5% Question 2.5.1 6% Question 2.5.2 8% Question 2.5.3 8% Question 2.5.4 5% Question 2.5.5 6% Question 2.5.6 6% Question 2.6 10%
  • Price: The price element makes up 35% of the overall score
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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