  • Price carries 5 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 0.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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

The existing skatepark ramps have now been removed due to health and safety concerns - so it will just be the installation of the new skatepark, not its removal. We would advise contractors to visit the site if possible.
