Multi-disciplinary services

We encouraged applications from a broad supply base, including emerging as well as established businesses, diverse in ethnicity, gender, socio-economic backgrounds and experience and welcomed a range of business models (such as partnerships and consortiums).

A combined consultancy service provider must be able to provide all of the services listed

against Lots 1 to 11. These services may be in house or subcontracted out. However, it is the

Primary consultant's responsibility to ensure that all other consultants and sub-contractors

are in compliance with the requirements of the framework. The more services that are sub-

contracted out as opposed to delivered in house by the provider, the greater reassurance

LHC and the Client will require as to the legal and insurance arrangements and supplier

performance management and standards maintained (see section 2.5 d).
