What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 40 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “Milk, Dairy, Fruit & Veg - 068-2024 Supply of Milk, Dairy, Fruit 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.
