What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
  • “PCR Sample Collection Kits and Consumables” 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.
