The internal team is separated into the six regions listed below.

Lot 1 Individual countries (e.g. UK only, USA only or France only etc.)
Lot 2 A singular region, as defined in the Vendor Questionnaire, which may include multiple countries but not necessarily all countries in the defined region.
Lot 3 Multiple regions as specified in the Vendor Questionnaire.
Lot 4 All regions.

Border to Coast seeks to appoint a combination of all country, regional and multi-regional providers, in order to provide comprehensive, high quality coverage. Given that comprehensive, high quality coverage is the priority of this procurement, the number of selected providers may vary and will be determined by the results of the procurement process only. The evaluation criteria used will be the same for each provider. For scoring purposes, the providers will be grouped and compared to other providers who applied for the same Lot(s). Not all Lots may result in a contractual award.
