    In accordance with Article 57 of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation 57 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 as set out in the Tender documents available from the NEPO Portal.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Traffic Management Services” 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.
