The Multi Academy Trust is seeking a suitably experienced contractor who has current experience of working within the school or HE/FE college market place, ideally with a strong operational base within the South West of England, thus allowing for both adequate contract support and operational flexibility that is to be delivered to support the contract as and when needed moving forwards into this contract term.
