What this means for your bid

Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“National Framework Agreement for the provision of Job Planning…” 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.
