  • Quality Criteria: Please refer to the tender documents for a further breakdown of the questions
  • Pricing Criteria: Please refer to the tender documents for a further breakdown of the pricing evalaution
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Supply, Maintenance and Repair of Commercial Electrical Cleaning…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, 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.
