Published award criteria (2)
- Quality
- Price
Lot distribution rule: Tenderers are invited to bid for one or both of the following Lots: Lot 1 and Lot 2.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
