Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality
Lot distribution rule: The lot structure incorporates 2 lots.
Lot 1 requires bidders to provide variable costing through the pricing schedule which includes a basket of goods rebate.
Lot 2 requires bidders to provide a fixed price which will be fully inclusive.
Only one lot will be awarded. The decision of whether to award the contract to lot 1 or lot 2 will be taken at the authority's discretion.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
