Re: Request under Freedom of Information Act 2000
Further to my letter of 25 February 2009 I have conferred with my colleagues in purchasing.
As previously stated we do not hold a list of approved contractors and consultants for use on new builds and refurbishments. As requested, I am embedding our active suppliers list though we have no way of readily differentiating this into industry sectors.
