Suitability
It is a minimum requirement for this opportunity that suppliers hold, where relevant to the Lots noted in Schedule 2 of the ITT, one or more of the following industry accreditations (or equivalent accreditation for the country in which they are established):
1. Fertiliser Industry Assurance Scheme (FIAS) accreditation:

1. BASIS Registration:

1. Full Universal Food Assurance Scheme (UFAS) accreditation:

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.
“Framework Agreement for Agricultural Supplies” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.

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