What this means for your bid

Price carries 83 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8.3 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
“Suction Canister and Liners” 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.
