  • Economic & financial standing

    Tenderers must be able to evidence a minimum annual turnover of twice the estimated contract value.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 17.5 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1.8 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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