3  Grouping of Services

3.1  Unless the Service Provider can demonstrate to the Authority that it will optimise its ability to obtain best value for money for the Authority if the Market Tested Services are tendered separately or in particular groupings, or if any Market Tested Service is divided into separate parts, the grouping of any Market Tested Services shall be left to the discretion of Tenderers on the basis that the Tender Requirements shall specify that:

(a)  Tenderers may submit tenders for all or any of the Market Tested Services; and

(b)  where a Tenderer submits a tender for a group or groups of Market Tested Services, it may be required to provide all or any of the Services in such group or groups and shall, in any event, provide separate pricing for each Service in such group or groups.
