What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 90 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. Quality carries 50 of 90: the paper moves it further than the discount.
  • “Framework for the Provision of Manned Security Guard Services in…” 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.
