- Quality: 30%
- Social Value: 20%
- Carbon Reduction: 10%
- Price: 40%
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “TC045 - Arborist Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
