What this means for your bid
- Price carries 60 of 160 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Fife Coastal Path Signage Replacement” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
