The Metropolitan Housing Trust Limited, a public sector body based in London, announced the award of a contract for building assessments related to EWS-1 and FRAEW. This procurement, categorised under architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, encompasses regions UKH and UKI. The contract involved direct selection under a limited procurement method due to its urgency and the supplier's prior work quality, bypassing the need for prior publication.
