What this means for your bid
- Price carries 95 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Civils Engineering Supplies” 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.
