Providers shortlisted at Stage 1 will be taken forward to Stage 2 of the process. Areas of assessment at Stage 1 include experience, staffing and premises. Stage 2 will either take the form of (a) a non-competitive Provider and Service Assurance Process (where only one capable Provider is identified at Stage 1); or (b) a competitive tendering process (where more than one capable Provider is identified at Stage 1), for each lot. Providers may submit an Application for one, two or three lots. However, each lot will be considered separately and assessed in their own right. There are separate specifications, supporting documentation and Stage 1 question sets for each lot.
