Subcontracting Framework for Works and Associated Services
Tayside Contracts · Local authority
In brief
Tayside Contracts has announced plans to buy construction and grounds maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.
It is a framework worth up to £20,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.
It is split into 9 lots, so a supplier can bid for part of the work.
Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.
