Description
The current Engineering Services Framework consists of eleven lots and is due to expire in June 2026, we are therefore preparing to introduce a new framework to cover the current services with the potential to introduce new lots where required.

- The areas of expertise may include civil, structural, geotechnical, mining, mechanical and electrical engineering, also environmental, health and safety, contract procurement, agricultural and specialist land drainage advice relating to past coal mining subsidence liabilities and other specialist service areas such as hydrology and hydrogeology.
