Lot Information

The team is established and if very familiar with the policy requirements. The alternative to this extension and corresponding uplift would be to go to market with a new procurement activity, which would result in a gap in current service and duplication of costs while the incoming supplier familiarises themselves with the complex service through a significant handover and transition period."
