The Commercial (Price) section is allocated a total weighting of 20%. A pre recorded video will be required as part of the submission The bidder who submits the lowest cost will be awarded the

maximum score allocated to the price element and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid. Bidders may submit bids for all or any of the Lots.
