- Suitability
As stated in the procurement documents.
- Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
- “Provision of Technical Support Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 32 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
