It is being jointly procured by Devon County Council, Hampshire County Council and Haringey Council in three lots under the new framework umbrella.
A Southern Construction Framework Supplier Briefing day will be held on 23 April for interested main contractors, ahead of a formal invitation to prequalify in May.
