  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “High Voltage/Low Voltage Switchgear Tender Notice 04” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
