How bids were scored
Published award criteria (4)
- Pass or Fail: 0
- Quality: 65
- Social Value: 5
- Price: 30
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
