How bids were scored · same split on all 2 lots

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: Pass or Fail
  • Price: 100
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 100 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 10 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.
