11 more lots publish their own split on the notice.
- Price carries 60 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 6 points.
- “The Supply and Delivery of Food and Drink Products to Lancashire…” 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.
