Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: Please see Tender Documentation
- Price: Please see Tender Documentation
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Specialist Filters” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

| supplier not published | — | 2 Jul 2026 | CancelledWe have made the decision to withdraw this tender. This decision has been made because, based on the submissions received, we are currently unable to conduct a fair and transparent pricing evaluation. To ensure the integrity of the procurement process and maintain fairness for all suppliers, we believe it is appropriate to withdraw the current opportunity and re-advertise it. The tender will be published again in due course. |
