4 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £800,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published.

What this means for your bid
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Internal Redecoration” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
