Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality including Social Value: 35%
- price: 65%
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality including Social Value: 35
- Price: 65
- Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Rock Salt” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
