As per the tender documents
- 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 the Supply of Unlicensed Imported Medicines…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 20 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
