Lots and requirements (6)Procurement structure
6 lots · all with a published value · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 4 lots carries the same published figure, £40,000,000: 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.
