Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical: 15%
- Price: 85%
Published award criteria (2)
- Price: Price is based on Base Model wheelchair, along with Basket of Spare Parts and Required Optional Function (ROF)
- Technical : Technical scored consists of Sustainability 10% & 5% for Online Ordering Portal
- Price carries 85 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Supply of Wheelchairs, Associated Parts and Accessories” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
