What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 37 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.7 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “C1145 - Professional Services Framework” 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.
