As requirements differ for each organisation, the contract will comprise of 'supply only' and/or 'supply and installation' Lots. \r \r The framework will be split into four Lots as detailed below:\r \r Lot 1 Street Name Plates Supply Only\r Lot 2 Street Name Plates Supply and Installation/maintenance\r Lot 3 Road Signage (including Directional Signs, Information signs) Supply Only\r Lot 4 Road Signage (including Directional Signs, Information signs) Supply and Installation/maintenance\r \r The Councils intents to award only one supplier to each Lot, however, tenderers can bid for one or more Lots; though each Lot will be evaluated separately and response documents must be provided for each lot that the tenderer is responding to.

Therefore, the potential successful tenderer could be appointed to more than one lot.\r
