- Social Value: 10%
Published award criteria (3)
- Technical: 65
- Social Value: 10
- Price: 25
- Price carries 25 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Waste Container and Associated Services Framework” 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.
