Applicants meeting the tender criteria were guaranteed a certain volume of new matter starts as follows:</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>Lot Size</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Guaranteed new matter starts</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Lot 1</strong></p></td><td><p>30-150 new matter starts</p></td><td><p>Volume bid for</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Lot 2</strong></p></td><td><p>226-499 new matter starts</p></td><td><p>226</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Lot 3</strong></p></td><td><p>500 + new matter starts</p></td><td><p>500</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>In the event that there were additional new matter starts left over against advertised volumes once guaranteed volumes had been allocated, applicants would be awarded additional matter starts up to the volume bid for until the volume of advertised matters starts were awarded. Those bidding for a higher number of new matter starts (i.e. in Lots 2 and 3) were required to meet additional criteria.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>(b) There are provisions within the Mental Health contract to award up to an additional 50% supplementary new matter starts if demand increases during the life of the contract. Those awarded a contract in Lot 1 will be able to self-grant an additional 50% of matter starts. Providers who have been awarded a higher volume of work (i.e. in Lots 2 and 3) will be able to apply to their LAA Contract Manager for an additional 50% new matter starts and these requests will be considered on a case by case basis in accordance with the contract provisions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 18/07/2014 11:09:09 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
