Published sub-criteria (3)
- Technical: 60%
- Commercial: 30%
- Social Value: 10%
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “LPP/2024/001 Contrast Media and Associated Injectors/Consumables” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
