- Suitability
All Tenderers must meet the requirements set in the tender documentation
- Price carries 40–100 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 40 points.
- “Abri Recruitment Agency Framework Agreement” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 96 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
