What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “The Provision of Building Trades and Drivers Agency Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 8 suppliers, not a single contract.

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