Duty to Consider Lots
As part of the initial project set up and approval stage of the tender process, Nexus Education Schools Trust discussed with Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited the possibility of splitting the tender into more than one lot/contract.
On the basis that Nexus Education Schools Trusts considered that consistency of service provision, lack of resource for contract
management and delivering value for money were best secured through one Trust-wide contract it was agreed that lots were not
appropriate for this tender process.
