3.3.3 Ranking of tenders  The contract will be awarded to the most economically advantageous tender, i.e. the  tender offering the best price-quality ratio determined in accordance with the formula  below.  Remarks: The tender(s) ranked first after applying the formula will be awarded the contract. Tenders must score minimum 60% for each criterion and minimum 70% in total. Tenders that do  not reach the minimum quality levels will be rejected and will not be ranked.  A weight of 60/40 is given to quality and price  “Price of tender X” is the “Reference price” in the Financial tender (see  section 4.  Annexes ).  Tenderers’ attention is drawn to the fact that ECDC will be in a position to make a proper  assessment of the tenders on the basis of the above qualitative criteria only if they contain full  particulars relating to all aspects of this specification. Lack of detail and vague and perfunctory  information will be penalised.  As the tenders will be evaluated on the basis of the quality of the services proposed, they should  fully explore all the points included in this specification so as to obtain the best possible mark.  Simply repeating the guidelines given in the specification of this invitation to tender without going  into detail or expanding on them will result in a very poor mark.  Furthermore, if any essential points of this specification are not expressly covered by the tender,  ECDC may decide to give a zero mark for the relevant quality award criteria.  26  score for tender  X  = cheapest price*  price of tender  X  * 100  *  0.4  + total quality score (out of  100) for all award criteria  of tender X  *  0.6
