Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 50
- Price: 50
Lot distribution rule: Suppliers are encouraged to bid for all Lots they are able to meet the requirement for. Each section has headings for LOT 1,2 and 3.
Lot 1 and 2 must be awarded to the same supplier. Lot 3 can be an independent supplier or the same as Lot 1 and 2.
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 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.
