How bids were scored
Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: 40
- Social Value: 10
- Price: 50
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 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.
