    CFL requires that you are able to demonstrate via previous examples satisfactory supply, implementation and performance of your product.

    Minimum: Qualification Envelope: Part 3, Section A, B, C, D and Part 4 Section B will be scored on a pass/fail basis. If any question subject to ‘pass/fail’ scoring be scored ‘fail’ the entire submission may be set aside and take no further part in the competition. Statement for question …

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.
  • “Hybrid Battery Replacement” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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