However, at the sole discretion of the Council, it may close the Framework should the Council deem they have sufficient providers to meet demand. The Council has the discretion to both open and close selected Lots and not all Lots should it choose to. The opportunity is divided into four Lots as detailed below: Lot 1: Learning Disability Standard Care Lot 2: Learning Disability Enhanced Care Lot 3: Mental Health Standard Care Lot 4: Mental Health Enhanced Care Bidders can bid for up to and including all 4 Lots and be awarded a Contract for up to and including all 4 Lots.
