Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 65%
  • Social Value: 10%
  • Price: 25%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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