How this framework works

From the published notice

Places: up to 2 suppliers · 3 bids received (1.5 per place) · 1 appointed

Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 2 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £16,224,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

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.
“CAT-21-006 Fresh Meat Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
