The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

- Social Value: 5%
- Quality/Technical: 45%
- Price: 50%
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “NATIONAL GAS MONITOR AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPEMENT FRAMEWORK” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 15 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
