Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Quality = 70% of award criteria Social Value = 10% of award criteria
- Price: Price = 20% of award criteria
- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
