The Contractors Frame work is changing from £25k to £50k
This new agreement, which will commence on the 3rd September 2012, will in effect cover a three year programme of work but will be re-opened and re-advertised at six monthly intervals to provide the opportunity for new contractors to apply.
Any contractor not already on the list is invited to apply or to get further information.
