    "description": "The Authority has determined that the application of multiple lots will not be utilised for this Procurement. The decision not to utilise multiple lots is justified as follows; (i) delivery of inter-linked consultancy service provision is best delivered through a single provider; (ii) the cost of procurement is likely to be higher if lotting is used; (iii) the cost of contract management is also likely to be higher; and (v) lotting may lose potential economies of scale and therefore value of delivering the service provision.
