This contract is being tendered in two lots. Tenderers may bid for either or both lots, and may be awarded either or both lots.

This procurement will be managed electronically via the Council's e-procurement system. To participate in this procurement, applicants must first be registered on the system at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/norfolkcc.
