- Price carries 15 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1.5 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Framework Agreement for Training Courses for Children's and Adults…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 100 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
