There is a strong preference for the Contractor to supply an extensive range of goods and services within each Region for which they are appointed. Capacity to provide services directly, rather than via sub-contracting arrangements, is preferred.
The contract is a standing offer arrangement or panel contract. This is a contract made between PWA and a supplier or suppliers.
