What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20–80 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 80 points.
  • “155_22 - Adhesives and Adhesive Tapes” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
