Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 60
  • Price: 40
Lot distribution rule: Bidders may bid for 1 or more lots and the council reserves the right to award multiple lots to bidders using the scoring and evaluation matrix from the tender documents.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “South Cambridgeshire District Council - Agency Staff 2021” 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.
