Lot Details

No Lots Division Rationale

This contract will not be subdivided into lots for the following reasons:- 1. Most of the work will be centred on the Greater Belfast area, which has the greater catchment area for the supply base and likely to be unattractive for suppliers from further afield due to the ad-hoc nature of the work; and 2. Due to the limited value of the services and the variable nature of demand, the appointment of multiple suppliers would not represent a cost-effective use of resources. As there is no guaranteed volume of work under the contract, a single-supplier arrangement is considered the most proportionate and advantageous solution for the Buyer.
