- Deliveries
- price
- Price carries 90 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Framework Agreement for the supply and delivery of Turf care Products…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
