Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 60%

- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Look Ahead Care & Support - Small Works Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
