As per procurement documents.
- Price carries 40–60 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 60 points.
- “Supply of Vans” 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.
