Tenderers can bid for one or more lots. The estimated budget is 700,000 GBP but no guarantee is given as to the levels of expenditure under the Framework and within each lot.

The University will take into account the quantity, value and characteristics of the goods and/or services required when determining the method of call-off for a given piece of work.
