What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Planned & Reactive Maintenance Framework (PRMF) (2025-29)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 24 suppliers, not a single contract.

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