Section seven. Changes
seven.1) Information to be changed or added
seven.2) Other additional information
In order to preserve as much of the stated word limits as possible for bidders' responses, where bidders have been asked to provide additional documents in support of specific responses to questions (for example, question 2.2 in the 'All Lots' sheet of the Award Questionnaires), Our Future Health suggests that such additional documents to be submitted are named as follows (and therefore these need not be directly referenced in bidders' responses to questions):
'[Bidder name] - Document requested in support of response to question 2.2 All Lots of Lot 2 Award Questionnaire'
(with wording of the named documents to be adjusted for context accordingly)
