- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Tree Surgery Framework - Yorkshire” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract, and call-offs are awarded directly: getting appointed is the whole game.
