How bids were scored
Price: 20
Published award criteria (2)
  • Technical 80%, Financial 20%: 80 / 20
  • Price: 20
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 20 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 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.
