What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “W&W Reactive & Minor Works (RMW) Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 12 suppliers, not a single contract.

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