Published award criteria (3)
- Bidders Capability: PASS/FAIL
- Priority Supplier Programme: 2
- Price: 98
- Price carries 98 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Audiology Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
