To confirm, recently awarded contracts will continue for their term.
The proposed scope and lotting structure will be explored further during the preliminary market engagement, with the final lotting structure confirmed in the UK 4 Tender Notice for this procurement.
Suppliers will be awarded places on the Framework Agreement based on their ability to meet quality standards and deliver value for money.
