- Sustainability: 10
- Clinical Evidence: 30
- Training and Support: 10
- Price: 50
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Patient Temperature Management and Fluid Warming” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 40 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
