Lots and requirements (30)Procurement structure
25 of 30 loaded on this pageShowing the first 25 of 30 published lots; the full list is in the JSON and Markdown mirrors of this notice. 30 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 30 of them · evaluation weights differ by lot.
Every one of these 25 lots carries the same published figure, £11,000,000: 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.
