Lot distribution rule: There is no limit on the number of lots a tenderer may bid for and be awarded if successful. \n\nAt all stages throughout the procurement process tenderers will be required to demonstrate their capability and capacity for delivering the number of Lots they are bidding for and the response will be assessed accordingly. Where tenderers are bidding for multiple lots but cannot demonstrate the capacity/ capability to deliver multiple Lots in its tender response, EDF reserves the right to award Contracts to more than one Tenderer.\n \nIn accordance with Regulation 46(6) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR), EDF reserves the right to award contracts combining several lots where multiple lots are awarded to the same tenderer. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the lots awarded to the same tenderer may be combined. Alternatively EDF may decide to award separate contracts to the same tenderer if successful across multiple lots.
