Additional Description Notes:

For the avoidance of doubt, this procurement exercise covers both the Pre-Services and the Works.
The successful tenderer will be required to work collaboratively and proactively with the contracting authority, its design team and the project manager to work up the ‘Employer’s Requirements’ (including the specification) the Contractor’s Proposals (including the CDP Analysis), the Contract Drawings and the Priced Document to arrive at the fixed Contract Sum that does not exceed the contracting authority’s budget for the works of 20 000 000 GBP.

This requirement is not split into lots: the need to coordinate the different contractors for the lots could seriously risk undermining the proper execution of the project.
