- Technical Questions — 2 Quality questions, no minimum score

What this means for your bid
- Price carries 70 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number — sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring — the tender pack may use another formula.
