Splitting the contract into separate lots would not reflect normal market practice and may reduce SME participation by requiring multiple contractors to mobilise separately. A single contract will improve efficiency, reduce duplicated access costs, minimise site risks, and support consistent service standards while remaining proportionate to the nature of the requirement."
