## Notice

Tender is being run in line with the Light Touch Regime PCR 2016 process.

The tender is split into 2 lots with separate scoring criteria.

Bidders are encouraged to bid for both lots. The Trust ideal is that it awards a contract to one provider for both lots, but decisions will be based upon the outcome of the evaluation process. 

Please see evaluation methodology for a full breakdown of the process to be applied. 

You should note here that the Trust reserves the option to award a combined contract to one bidder, in an instance that the combined service provision confers a benefit to the Trust when contrasted against awarding the lots individually to separate providers.
