Additional information:

Organisations may tender for one, two or all three lots. The highest scores from Lot 1 and Lot 2 will be added together to create a total score (100%). Lot 3 total score will count for 100%. However, the Council will only be appointing to Lot 1 and Lot 2 or Lot 3. The decision to appoint to Lot 1 and 2 or Lot 3, will be based on the highest score. For example, if the combined score of tenderers for Lot 1 and 2 equate to a higher score than that of the highest tenderer for Lot 3, then Lot 1 and Lot 2 will be successful. If the highest tender for Lot 3 exceeds the combined highest score for Lot 1 and Lot 2, then the highest scoring tenderer for Lot 3 will be successful.
