Following negotiations, tenderers will have the opportunity to re-submit their Quality, Social Value and Commercial tender, which will be evaluated as per the process outlined within Section 7 of the IfT. The tenderer with the highest total score in each Lot will be awarded the lead insurer for their respective Lot."
