Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 10%
  • Price: 90%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Supply & Delivery of Coated Roadstone Framework 3rd Generation” 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.
