What this means for your bid

Price carries 30 of 40 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“Ad-Hoc Application Penetration Testing & IT Health Check (PSN) and…” 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.
