Published sub-criteria (2)
- Quality: 75%
- Cost Evaluation: 25%
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Quality includes 10% for presentation evaluation
- Cost Evaluation
- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “The Provision of Legal Services - Public Law and Other Portfolio…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
