What this means for your bid

Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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

Answer: Unfortunately, we currently have a Cisco Unified Comms System so we are unable to accept any bids that contain alternatives to Cisco.
