+
+  For framework evaluation, 10%  is the maximum score available for Bidders to achieve by completing price evaluation tables. 5% is available for completing this question.
+
+  Bidders will receive a proportion of the 5% available relative to their ranked discount. The Bidder with the highest discount will score 5%, and the equation used to assign scores to all subsequent ranked bidders will be:
+
+  (highest discount / Bidder's discount) * 10
+
+  Failure to complete this table will result in 0% of the available marks being awarded.
+
+  Where 0% is entered by the bidder, for the purposes of evaluation CCS will use 0.01% instead. Bidders may enter 0% as their response in this cell.
