What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20–50 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
  • “NCC1101 Alternative Education Provision” 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.
