  • Condition of participation

    Bidders are asked to self-certify that they have minimum levels of insurance in place regarding Employer's Liability, Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
