+  Lot 1b allows for suppliers to offer services delivered according to any of the NIST deployment models for cloud computing (see Framework Schedule 1 Specification). The Deployment Models are:
+
+  <ul class="govuk-list govuk-list--bullet">
+    <li>Private Cloud</li>
+    <li>Community Cloud</li>
+    <li>Public Cloud</li>
+    <li>Hybrid Cloud</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  CCS supports the delivery of each of these models, however CCS considers that Hybrid and Community models are variants of the 'core' models of Public and Private Clouds.
+
+  Buyers need to understand the cost of services offered under this Lot in order to establish best value. This cost will be made up of several factors unique to each supplier, which together can be described as a mechanism for determining a price. These factors must include a Baseline Price, as well as other factors such as discounts and other areas of cost.
+
+  Baseline Prices may be listed in a number of ways, including through publicly available catalogues hosted by the bidder themselves, as well as through the Service Lines in the G-Cloud catalogue.
+
+  The intent of CCS is that bidders will provide buyers with a mechanism for determining the price payable in any call off procedure, as required by section 45.5.b of the Procurement Act 2023
+
+  CCS defines the high level mechanism for determining the price of services for each of these deployment models as the following:
+
+  <table class="govuk-table">
+    <tbody class="govuk-table__body">
+      <tr class="govuk-table__row">
