  • Price: Hourly Rates and Maintenance Type 1 Pricing, evaluated in accordance with the Pricing Schedule.
  • Quality : Quality and service responses evaluated against the Quality Method Statement criteria set out in Appendix 3.
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.
