Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 40
- Price: 60
- Suitability
As per tender documentation
- Technical & professional ability
Execution of the service is reserved to a particular profession
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Legal Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 36 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
