What this means for your bid

Price carries 100 of 100 points — a 10% discount moves about 10 points. This one is won on the number — sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“BPB000185 - North Mainstream PSV” is a dynamic market — 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.
