The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 40
  • Price: 60
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.
