People working in Highland trades businesses are being urged by Highland Council to attend a supplier briefing roadshow event near them if they wish to tender for future council contracts.
The council has created a new trades services framework for repair, maintenance and minor works to maintain and improve the council estate and to help deliver the council’s property maintenance programme for domestic and non-domestic properties.
Events are designed for people working in the following trades: general builders, floor covering and furnishings, pest control, specialist cleaning, plumbing, heating and ventilation, joinery, electrical, painting and decorating, roofing and insulation works, fencing and gates, ground works and excavation, scaffolders, asbestos works, and fabricating.
Council officers will explain how the new framework will be tendered; how it will meet supplier expectations; achieve best value to both suppliers and the council; meet council objectives; achieve community benefits and more.
