The four formulas, and where you stand under each
- Proportional to the lowest price
- The lowest price takes all the price points; every other bid gets them in the proportion of the lowest price to its own.
- Linear, from the lowest to the highest
- The lowest price takes all the price points and the highest takes none, on a straight line between the two.
- Discount on the estimated value
- Points follow the discount on the estimated value: the largest discount takes them all, a bid at the estimate takes none.
- Around the average discount
- Discounts up to the average of all bids earn up to 85% of the price points; the last 15% is shared out between the average and the largest discount. Common in Italy and Spain, where the documents may set another share.
The tender documents state the formula the buyer really uses, and it may be none of these. Read them before you price your bid.

How to submit
Find a Tender is where this notice was published. The bid goes somewhere else.
Not legal advice. Rules and portals change: check the buyer's documents and the official portal.
Show the 5 steps
- Find a Tender publishes notices; it does not take bids.
- Open the official notice and look for the address for submitting tenders. It names the buyer's own e-procurement platform, and that is where the bid goes.
- Create a supplier account on that platform well before the deadline. Accounts are usually free, and some platforms check a new company by hand, which takes days.
- Upload the bid hours, not minutes, before the deadline. The platform's clock decides, and a late bid is usually refused.
- Keep the confirmation the platform issues: it shows when the bid arrived.
