How do you propose to minimise variations to the construction contract and/or ensure variations are managed to account for an extended sign-off process?

What this means for your bid
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
