However Service Providers within Lot 2 will have the opportunity to apply for a geographical block area in Lot 1 should a new Service Provider be required for a specific block area; in these circumstances a mini tender would be carried between all the existing Service Providers within Lot 2. It should be noted that the Council does not guarantee any level of service within Lot 2 or that there will be an opportunity to be included in Lot 1.
