Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 75
- Price: 25
- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Social Media Management and Engagement Platform” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

Publisher note: The estimated value of the framework described in this notice is GBP 12 000 000. This figure has been calculated on the assumption that the framework runs for its maximum possible term (the initial terms of 2 years, plus the further extension periods of 1 year each) and that a number of call-off contracts are awarded by the various parties listed in the ITT. For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority gives no warranty or representation as to the value of any call-off contract, or the number of call-off contracts, if any, which may be awarded.
