The provision will be offered through a single Lot of activity at Investment Priority (IP) and LEP level, we intend to enter in to two Contracts for transitional and more developed, a single Contract for each of the areas within this lot (York, North Yorkshire & East Riding - Transitional and York, North Yorkshire & East Riding - More Developed) with the Applicant who submits the most economically advantageous tender for this Lot. The precise value and scope of the Lot is still to be agreed with individual Local Enterprise Partnerships and their ESIF Committees and therefore the estimated value is based upon expressions of interest from LEPs and could be subject to change.
