Tenders will be evaluated on a weighted attribute model with technical merits assessed based on: Technical assessment of proposed vessel (40%), Contractor construction experience and capability (20%), Schedule for proposed vessel construction (20%), and Program delivery (20%). Commercial position will also be assessed.
