How bids were scored
Quality: 35%Price: 45%Social value: 20%
Published award criteria (3)
  • Quality: 35
  • Social Value: 20
  • Price: 45
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 35 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “TC042 - Minor Housing Adaptations to Promote Independent Living” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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