Published award criteria (2)
- Quality Criteria: 40
- Price: 60
- Suitability
The supplier will be required to provide a completed version of the SPD included in the document list and answer the quality questions for the contract evaluation. Further detail can be found in the tender documentation.
- 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.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
