  • Price carries 70 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 7 points.
  • “Framework Arrangement For The Provision Of Cyclical Electrical…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 15 suppliers, not a single contract.

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