Every one of these 5 lots carries the same published figure, £49,850,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

Lot distribution rule: Bidders may bid for all lots and may be awarded to all lots. We will appoint a maximum of 10 suppliers per lot.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “Active Fire Framework 2025” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 220 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.

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