Published award criteria (2)
- Quality Questions
- Pricing
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “London and Quadrant Housing Trust - Cermaic Wall Tiles Supply Only…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
