Organisations are permitted to tender for any-one (1) or more Lots for which they consider they are suitably qualified and experienced. Organisations shall be aware however that appointment to each Lot will be evaluated separately. Therefore, appointment to one Lot of the Framework will not automatically mean the organisation is appointed to any other Lot for which it submitted a Tender.
