Quality: 40%Price: 60%
Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality
  • Price
Lot distribution rule: Upon conclusion of the evaluation, the scores for 'quality' and 'price' will be combined to give a total score out of 100%, and the potential supplier with the highest overall score will be awarded the contract cluster. This will be determined by taking the overall quality score and applying it to all clusters, applying the individual site costs to the process to give a total score for each site. A maximum of 3 initial sites will be awarded to any single bidder. Sites will be awarded to the highest scoring bidder, where a bidder is the highest scoring bidder on more than 3 sites, the client will decide which sites he wishes to be awarded to the contractor. The remaining sites will then be awarded to the next highest scoring bidder in relation to that site.

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.
