HTE may request such information as may be requested pursuant to Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts Regulations. Details are provided in the Eligibility Envelope
- Price carries 130 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 13 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Consultancy Solutions and Advisory Services 2023” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 140 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
