What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “CBC-1600-T-MD Eastern Highways Alliance Framework 4” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 16 suppliers, not a single contract.

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