Published requirement description

Halton Housing is a not for profit housing association who provide high quality housing services with a social conscience.

The Framework Agreement will be used by Link clients and may also be used by all other contracting authorities located in the United Kingdom as defined in Regulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and detailed in the tender documentation.
