Published award criteria (3)
- Quality: 70
- Social Value: 10
- Price: 20
- Successive reduction
- Candidates will be reduced successively across stages
- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Electricity Supply Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
