Description

Nexus are looking for a design and build contract to undertake the improvement of existing facilities at South Gosforth Control Centre for staff to create a fit for purpose working environment.

The aim of the project is to improve the existing facilities at South Gosforth Control Centre for staff to create a fit for purpose working environment.
