I did briefly skim through the document you gave in the link before but it was too word-heavy so I chose not to read it all!
I do note the following re: Lowest Price -
Tyresmoke will be able to confirm, but I don't think these are short-term contracts? Some more than others could be described as 'low-level services', but still think services such as the 37/73 do not fall under this bracket.
You missed out the following from your quote on lowest price contracts.
This approach may also be useful in the procurement of a clearly-specified product, service or works, which has sufficient mandatory aspects that would allow a simple choice on the basis of lowest price.
I have a feeling this could apply in relation to Nexus contracts.
