# Lot 1 - SCH Helpline
Source: [Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/lot-1-sch-helpline-ocds-h6vhtk-0424ea). UK public procurement intelligence compiled from official UK procurement notices.
> **Notice summary:** Tender is being run in line with the Light Touch Regime PCR 2016 process.
The tender is split into 2 lots with separate scoring criteria.
Bidders are encouraged to bid for both lots. The Trust ideal is that it awards a contract to one provider for both lots, but decisions will be based upon the outcome of the evaluation process.
Please see evaluation methodology for a full breakdown of the process to be applied.
You should note here that the Trust reserves the option to award a combined contract to one bidder, in an instance that the combined service provision confers a benefit to the Trust when contrasted against awarding the lots individually to separate providers. Benefits can be more than just the cost of the service provision.
Contract Period: Initial 2 years with an option to extend by a further 2 years.
