    The aim of this tender is to procure a network of training providers to deliver quality accredited training courses in line with the Farming Connect eligibility criteria for Farming Connect clients.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 150 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “ITT Invitation to tender Farming Connect Lifelong Learning and…” 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.
