Tenders with multiple Lots
==========================

When having tender with separate items that can be proveded by different
providers it is possible to split the tender into :ref:`Lots <lot>`.  Each
Lot has own budget (i.e. `Lot.value`).

Multilot Tender shares general documentation, and can have lot-specific and
even item-specific documentation.

The same applies to :ref:`Questions <question>` and answers. Question placed
in Tender can be general, lot-specific or item-specific.

When bidding provider can place bid against single lot, multiple lots or
even all lots of the tender.  Each of the documents attached to the
:ref:`Bid` can be general, lot-specific or item-specific.

Each Lot has has own auction and awarding process.

Each Lot can be cancelled individually, not affecting processes that take
place in other lots.
