Published requirement description

The WM Decarbonisation Net Zero Programme aims to to provide information and expert advice and support to businesses which are sole traders, micro businesses, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), enabling them to make significant decarbonisation and money saving changes to their business.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 120 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 12 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.
