More than 150 leaders of businesses from the construction sector turned out for the launch of Peterborough City Council’s Contractors Framework held at Peterborough Rugby Club.

The framework lists the firms that are automatically eligible to bid for council projects priced up to £5 million. In turn they will sub-contract work to other local companies. The gathering was addressed by Jane McDaid, the council’s head of Peterborough property.
