✓Answer against the marking scheme, not the question text — Met Office scores each response, so map your evidence to the published criteria and weightings.
✓At £1,000,000, expect quality and social value to carry a large share of the score — price alone rarely wins goods work.
✓Show recent, comparable delivery: name similar goods contracts you've delivered for public bodies, with measurable outcomes.
✓Start early: deadlines are tight and a strong bid takes iteration.
