How bids were scored
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 0%
- Price: 100%
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 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.
