Lots and requirements (10)Procurement structure

10 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 10 of them

Every one of these 10 lots carries the same published figure, £34,000,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.
