The requirement is for a single, consistent type of product (Specialised Chairs) with uniform specifications and standards. Splitting the contract into lots would risk fragmentation of supply, inconsistency in product quality, and increased administrative burden. A single supplier arrangement will ensure continuity, simplify contract management, and support economies of scale."
