What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 35 of 167 points: a 10% discount moves about 3.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “RBGKEW1256 - Membership Servicing Print & Fulfilment” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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