Published award criteria (1)
- Price: 35
What this means for your bid
- Price carries 35 of 35 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 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.
