The Services sought under this framework agreement will be split into the following four lots:

Lot 1A - Telephone Interpretation Services
Lot 1B - Video Remote Interpretation Services
Lot 2 - Face to Face Interpretation Services
Lot 3 - Translation Services (including hard copy and electronic translation services)
