Additional text

The procurement exercise will offer contracts to 2 suppliers; these 2 suppliers will work separately of each other and report to HOAI; both suppliers should be able to provide the services set out in the Requirement.
The work will be allocated as evenly as possible to the 2 suppliers, however, as this is a call off contract, no volume of work is guaranteed. Where a supplier is unable to accept work due to capacity issues, this will then be offered to the other supplier.
