What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 7 points.
  • “Framework for Audio Visual Aids (AVA) Equipment & Accessories” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

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