What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 55 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5.5 points.
  • “Medicines, Consumables and Reagent Logistics and Warehousing Framework…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 36 suppliers, not a single contract.

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