  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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

Review and risk notes
Risks

A key risk is that the contract value and associated spend are demand‑led and subject to fluctuations in service uptake, and the continuation of the service is dependent on securing ongoing government funding.
