A New build school will be built at Ladymead Lane in Langford within the period of this contract and the service will need to be moved to that site.
These academies will be grouped into lots for geographical clusters within the tender specification (Somerset, North Somerset, Bristol, South Gloucestershire and Gloucestershire). in order to attract a broader range of suppliers and service propositions. Bidders may choose to bid for any number of Lots and as such, bids for each individual Lot will be evaluated (and the contract/s awarded) on their own merits, so bidders should submit their best price for each individual Lot, as no improved offers for award of multiple Lots to a single bidder will be accepted.
