How bids were scored
Published award criteria (3)
- Price: Scored out of 60 available marks
- Quality: Scored out of 30 available marks
- Social Value: Scored out of 10 available marks
What this means for your bid
- 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.
