Price evaluation will be conducted using the CIPFA % difference model. The submitted price is compared using a % price difference model and then scored against using the weighted criteria. The % price difference model allocates the lowest price submission the highest score and the highest price the lowest score. The price % difference is scored on the % difference between the lowest price and the price submitted. Where a submitted price exceeds the lowest price submission by more than 100%, this will result in the Tenderer being awarded a 0 for price. Price will be evaluated out of 100."
