As per tender documents
- Price carries 10–15 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 10 points.
- “Marketing Agency Framework” 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.
