This tender contains 10 Lots. Tenderers can bid for one, more than one or all Lots. Each Lot bid for, must be bid for in its entirety otherwise the bid for that Lot will fail and be rejected. Tenderers who bid for more than one Lot will have their bid treated and evaluated as a separate bid as detailed within the Tender Evaluation Methodology and Marking Scheme SS20b (TEMMS). It is the intention to make award of a place on the framework agreement to all tenderers who have successfully passed through all evaluation steps for the applicable Lot(s) bid for.
