### Lot Information

Lot 1

To support facility operations and enable our Projects, including ensuring timely delivery, CLF requires the services of a multi-disciplined Design House (DH) with excellent knowledge and capability across a broad spectrum of mechanical, electrical, software and control and instrumentation engineering skills. The DH will provide personnel to supplement existing CLF engineering capability in operations and to undertake the coordination and delivery of design packages from Front End Engineering Design (FEED) through to full manufacturing drawings for Projects. This work will be undertaken under DH management and with guidance from existing CLF staff, as required to meet the necessary timescales and agreed quality standards. It is expected that the DH contract will last for up to 4 years from inception to completion. The maximum contract spend over the 4 year duration shall not exceed PS4M excl. VAT. The Contract will be on a call-off basis, with work packages and service delivery being drawn down according to needs. However, please note there is no guaranteed volume of orders or minimum contract value associated with this Call-Off Contract.
