Due to the number of lots and the expected interest this call-off is being run as a 2 stage process. The first stage contained award questions that were generic across all lots and focused on how providers would address issues such as recruitment and retention. Stage 2 featured case studies that were specific to situations the tenderers could expect to experience delivering the service.
