The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

How bids were scored
Quality: 30%Price: 70%
Published sub-criteria (2)
  • Quality — 30%
  • Cost — 70%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number — sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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