Dear Nicola,

Thank you for your request for information.

Before I can deal with your request, I need to clarify the information you
are requesting.

When you say "Construction Consultancy Services" and "Construction
Contractors", it would be helpful clarify what you mean.

Are you requesting information about the construction of the Highway
Network or the construction of Buldings, or something else?

Please would you let me know.

Once you have clarified your request, I will be able to begin to process
your request.
