How bids were scored
Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Quality 60% - Written response, presentation and references
- Price
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
