Applicants are advised this is a competitive procurement exercise conducted in accordance with the Restricted Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2006.

The Councils requirements for each Lot will be set out in the Lot-specific Specifications, which will be supplied with the Tender Documents to those Applicants short listed to be invited to tender. A brief outline of the requirements for each Lot is included in Appendix C which accompanies the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire.

Applicants can apply for either one single Lot; a range of Lots; or all Lots. Applicants shall note, however, that the financial evaluation of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire will be based on the cumulative annual estimated framework value of the total number of Lots applied for. Applicants should therefore consider the extent to which they may wish to apply selectively for the individual Lots which are aligned most closely to their core business
