Published award criteria (2)
- Customer Requirements: 45%
- Price: 55%
- Price carries 55 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Washroom Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 82 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
