The framework is being procured by EEM on behalf of its members and the other organisations described as being Authorised Users. Further details regarding the Authorised Users of this framework can be found in the ITT documents when they are released.
The main elements of worked covered by this framework will be:
• Carrying out of risk assessments, making recommendations and undertaking remedial works to proposed properties
• Cleaning and disinfection of water storage tanks and portable water service pipes.
