Published award criteria (2)
  • Price
  • Quality
Lot distribution rule: Bidders can bid for Lot 1 and Lot 2, or Lot 1 or Lot 2. Each Lot will be evaluated and awarded according to the criteria contained within the tender documents. If you bid for 2 Lots there is no guarantee you will be awarded any of the Lots. The Specifications are slightly different for each Lot so please read carefully.
What this means for your bid
  • 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.
