The Framework agreement will be for a period of 48 months, running from Monday 11th March 2024 to 10th March 2028. 8 Contractors have been appointed onto each of the geographical sublots, (Midlands & National) of the Framework, ensuring that all our member's requirements are covered taking into consideration the range of locations our members are located in.

CPV: Consulting services for water-supply and waste consultancy · Disinfecting and exterminating services · Monitoring and control services · Plumbing consultancy services · Repair and maintenance services of pumps, valves, taps and metal containers · Risk or hazard assessment other than for construction · Water plumbing work · Water tanks · Water-treatment work
