What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 2 points.
  • “Food System Transformation Consultancy Support 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.
