- Price: 30.00%
- Suitability
As stated in the procurement documentation.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “BTA1586 - Exhibition Stand Design Build & Support Services Framework…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
