NIGHTINGALE TO FORCE ITS WAY ON TO LSC FRAMEWORK

摘要

Nightingale Associates is planning to exploit a loophole in an attempt to get on to the lucrative Learning and Skills Council (LSC) Framework, after it failed the first time round. The UK-wide firm was among a number of high-profile outfits, including RMJM, Sheppard Robson and BDP, which failed to secure a place on the ￡1.6 billion-a-year framework, that commissions further education work on projects worth ￡5 million or more. However, the AJ has learned that Nightingale now hopes to set up a joint venture with one of the 21 practices that have made it on the list, in a move that could provide a back-door route to the framework.
