For full details, please refer to the procurement documents available at [in-tendhost.co.uk/lancaster](https://in-tendhost.co.uk/lancaster). Economic Operators may apply for any or all Lots (1-3). If less than four Economic Operators meet the requirements to get on each Framework Lot, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to proceed to establish the Framework with less than four Economic Operators on each Lot or to cancel the procurement of that Lot. The maximum number of Economic Operators awarded a place on each Lot may increase only where two or more Economic Operators have tied scores, and are jointly placed in the last position (fourth) in respect of each Lot.

Questions (anonymised) and their answers will be documented and shared publically via the In-Tend clarification function. The expected duration is approximately two hours.
