No Lots Division Rationale
The use of multiple contracts or lots has been deemed unnecessary due to the nature of the work, which requires consistent delivery and oversight under a unified contract to ensure coherence, quality control, and operational efficiency. Awarding to a single supplier will ensure that risk is managed effectively by the most suitable supplier throughout the life of the contract.
