Quality — Detail available via NHS Dorset eSourcing Atamis Platform
Price — Detail available via NHS Dorset eSourcing Atamis Platform

What this means for your bid

Price carries 30 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring — the tender pack may use another formula.
