Price: 100%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Provider Facility Details: Pass/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.
  • “Waste Metal Acceptance and Recycling Services (4 lots)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
