How bids were scored
Published award criteria (2)
- price: 65%
- Quality: 35%
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 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.
