Tender opportunity: Peterborough City Council seeks home adaptation contractors

BHTA members involved in home adaptations, accessible bathroom installations, minor aids, and repair services may wish to review this tender opportunity from Peterborough City Council.

Tender overview

This opportunity covers adaptation and repair works in domestic properties, including extensions, internal alterations, level access showering facilities, and associated works, alongside the installation of minor aids and adaptations.
