- Suitability
As stated in the procurement documents
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “National Marking, Survey & Tariffing Framework” 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.
