Published award criteria (2)

- Price: 70%
- Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework (iv)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
