I recall a practice question where the focus was on the overall value offered, which makes me lean towards A) Weighted criteria again.

I feel like we discussed how location might not be the main factor in public sector tenders, so I doubt it's B) The supplier location.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about price being important. Could it be D) The bidder's price?

I think the answer might be A) Weighted criteria, since it seems like the most comprehensive way to evaluate all bidders based on multiple factors.
