What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 130 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. Quality carries 70 of 130: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “Framework Agreement for the Provision of Employer's Agent and Quantity…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

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