RUG - Rugby Town Centre Wayfinding Strategy

Notice Description

The Borough Council is seeking the services of a suitably skilled and experienced Provider to design, supply and install a number of physical wayfinding items, as guided by and in compliance with the concepts of the Wayfinding Strategy (Appendix A).

The implementation of the services is required to be completed within four stages.
