What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 150 of 175 points: a 10% discount moves about 15 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Supply and Delivery of Recycle and Refuse Containers” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 35 suppliers, not a single contract.

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