Through invitation to a mini-tender of all the firms admitted to the framework agreements. On each occasion, a Supplementary Request for Tender will be issued detailing the scope of requirements, the award criteria, a closing date and time and methodology for submission of responses. Contracts will be drawn down as specified above across all categories listed as follows: Lot 1A - Drawing & Design Lot 2A - Hand Tools Lot 3A - Power Tools Lot 4A - Electronics & Control Technology Lot 5A - Structure & Mechanisms Lot 6A - Safety Equipment Lot 1B - Machine Tools & Storage Lot 2B - Digital Technologies & CAM
