What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50–75 points depending on the lot. Read the split per lot below.
  • “Framework for Print Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 40 suppliers, not a single contract.

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