- Price carries 1 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 0.1 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Funded Providers 2024” 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.
