Published award criteria (1)
- Price: 40%
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 40 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 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.
