What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50–100 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 100 points.
  • “CoSA Transition Consultancy” 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.
