The procurement was divided into four Lots, with each Lot corresponding to one Learning Centre: • Lot 1: Dorchester Learning Centre • Lot 2: The Forum Centre • Lot 3: The Orchard (Forum Centre satellite provision) • Lot 4: Harbour Vale Learning Centre Tenderers could tender for one, multiple or all Lots.
