The successful tenderer(s) will work with clients to deliver a procurement service that will ensure they comply with all internal policies and procedures, government procurement policy and UK/EU procurement regulations. This service will be divided into four lots based on the different procurement project types typically carried out within public sector procurement departments.

- Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “National Framework Agreement for Fixed Fee Procurement Project…” 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.
