Published description of the framework
Following this tender exercise, it is envisaged that at least 3 Contractors will be appointed to the Framework.
It is intended that there will be either :
- 2 lots on the Framework: Fire Alarms and Fire Fighting Equipment Works (Lot 1) and Intruder Alarms Works (Lot 2) or
