Lot distribution rule: The tender contains 8 lots, each being the location of each Health Board, all of which will be awarded on a sole supply basis. Providers may submit bids for any number of Lots, with no restrictions on the minimum or maximum they can pursue. Likewise, there is no limit to the number of Lots that may be awarded to a single provider.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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