What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 98 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 9.8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “P-2705 Manufacture of components required for Bus and Rail Engineering” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.
