I am in receipt of a Freedom of Information request, as follows:

Do you have a list of approved consultants offering Architectural and
Building Surveying Services? If so how does one apply to go on it?
In response, we are currently in contract with Staffordshire County
Council for the provision of all Property Consultancy Services, which
includes the provision of architectural and building surveying services.
We are therefore not in a position to consider contracting directly with
other providers.

Yours sincerely,

Ralph Butler
