For the six project specific questions, potential providers will be assessed against a scoring criteria which is outlined for each question to meet the overall criteria. iii. A minimum score of 70 marks for technical questions 1, 2, 3 and 4. iv. A minimum score of 30 marks for technical questions 5 and 6. v.
