What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Framework Agreement for Telephony Services for Schools” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 7 suppliers, not a single contract.
