Published sub-criteria (2)
- Technical: 40%
- Commercial: 60%
Published award criteria (2)
- Commercial: Price will account for 60%. The Supplier with the lowest acceptable price will achieve the highest available commercial weighting. The other bids will then receive a weighting expressed as an inverse proportion of the lowest price. The calculation will be: (Lowest tendered price / Tenderer's price) x 60%
- Technical: Quality will account for 40%. Suppliers are required to demonstrate how they will carry out the Services by responding to each of the posed technical questions. The technical questions are each divided into several "Components" to guide Tenderers as to the structure and content of their response. All Components are treated equally and are not placed in any order of importance. Tenderers must address all the Components in their response. Responses that more strongly address the Components of the Technical Question are likely to be awarded higher levels of confidence.

- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 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.
