Arrangement is used to provide a list of pre approved contractors across a range of 39 work categories and split across 10 geographic areas.

Contractors will be appointed to the SLoAC based on achieving certain minimum standard through pass/fail questions. The award of specific projects will be subject to a competitive procurement process for each individual project.
