What this means for your bid
- Price carries 25 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 2.5 points.
- “NMWTRA Consultancy Professional Services Framework Contract 2026” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
