Published sub-criteria (3)
- Technical: 60%
- price: 30%
- Social Value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
- Social Value: 10
- Technical: 60
- Price: 30
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “University Interactions - NDA Research Portfolio - Single Supplier…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
