- Technical: 80%
- Commercial: 20%
Published award criteria (2)
- Commercial: PRICE
- Technical: TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SE1190 EDI Consultancy Support Programme” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
