- Suitability
In the United Kingdom, the economic operators may be requested to provide a certificate from the Registrar of Companies stating that he is certified as incorporated or registered.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 90 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. Quality carries 50 of 90: the paper moves it further than the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
