Bidders must not combine response forms; each must be submitted individually within the same email. This ensures proper evaluation by the relevant panels, as the NMRN lots will have assessment panels for specific lots comprised on their expertise and whether the lot pertains to NMRN or Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. This is a re-upload due to an error in the Lot 8 evaluation criteria in the response form in the first issue of the response forms. |
