- Price carries 30 of 110 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “IT Services Framework” 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.
