Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: 45
- Social Value: 20
- 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.
- “Integrated Transport Service Framework Agreement for the Provision…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
