How bids were scored

Lot awarding rule: A price-per-quality-point methodology will be used. The quality threshold will be split into 5 questions and evaluated individually. If the minimum overall quality threshold score of 60& is met then then commercial submission will be divided by the quality score to create the price per quality score. Commercial submission / Moderated Final Quality Score = PQP Score. PQP scores will be rounded to two decimal places and the two lowest scores will be awarded contracts
