This opportunity suits principal contractors with the financial strength and construction capability to deliver a substantial multi-unit industrial development. Bidders must show general annual turnover of £16,000,000 in each of their last three financial years, or provide acceptable evidence for their trading period. They must meet the stated Dun & Bradstreet risk requirements or provide alternative assurance and mitigation.
