The Council is looking to appoint a maximum of three (3) multidisciplinary teams /framework partners for this Contract.

However, the use of specialist sub-consultants may be required to assist with the delivery of the commission to provide the full spectrum of skills and services (unless the services can be provided in-house by the Lead Consultant).
