The key aim of the framework will be to promote cost savings and create efficiencies by providing these organisations access to pre-approved suppliers whom they may appoint using a simple and streamlined procurement process. To enable SMEs and local providers to bid, the framework will be divided into the following lots, based upon geographical regions within the UK: • Lot 1 North East • Lot 2 North West • Lot 3 Yorkshire and Humber • Lot 4 East Midlands • Lot 5 West Midlands • Lot 6 East of England • Lot 7 London • Lot 8 South East • Lot 9 South West • Lot 10 Scotland • Lot 11 Wales • Lot 12 Northern Ireland The number of suppliers offered a place on the framework will depend in part upon the number and nature of bids received, but the objective will be to ensure that the framework offers a choice of up to six suppliers within each lot. Tenderers are invited to bid for one, some or all of the geographical lots above as they wish.
