What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 200 of 200 points: a 10% discount moves about 20 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Provision of a Framework Contract for the Supply of 100% Blend…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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