- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Lot LOT-0003. Lot 3 - Trailers including Tippers, Bulk Bodies, and…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract: each call-off is a further competition, so the pricing contest starts after appointment.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
