Lot Information

Lot 1

Options: The Council has included an indicative list in the Pricing Schedule in Document 3C of the tender pack. These products constitute the core list and must remain in stock at all times. The Supplier must be able to deliver them within 48 hours of the order being placed. The core list is not fixed throughout the life of the Contract. Firstly, because it is difficult to condense the Council's requirements into a single list. Secondly, because the Council's requirements may change over time. The Supplier will add items to the core list if requested. Ongoing spend analysis will reveal which popular items need to be added.
