A model specification (which does not fully quantify all the terms but covers the key terms and deliverables and the broad requirements of the service) is provided in the Invitation To Tender document and is used for tendering purposes only. The specification may be modified by individuals (the participating organisations) subject to negotiation with the successful Tenderers.
