How this framework works

From the published notice
Places
up to 35 suppliers · 23 bids on the busiest of 5 lots (0.7 per place) · 21 appointed

Lots and requirements (5)Procurement structure

5 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 3 of them · same evaluation weights on every lot

Every one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £200,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 5 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 0.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “NTU/22/2094/DS – Help To Grow Mentoring Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 35 suppliers, not a single contract.

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