Lot Information

Lot 1

The procurement was run as an Open Procedure due to the time pressures on delivering the project. Owing to the Prior Information Notice issued on 21st October 2020, the tender process will be conducted as an accelerated procedure with a sole scored focus on pricing. Suppliers were expected to make a commitment to a series of account management criteria, which were presented in the tender documentation, but this was not scored directly in the tender exercise.
