Northern exposure
Article Abstract:
James Scott won the contract to refurbish the public service electricity along the seafront in Blackpool, England. The 7 million pounds sterling contract included the upgrading of the electrical system for Blackpool's 12 mile Victorian tramway, to bring the system up to modern safety standards. The work took two years, some of it executed during the night in order to prevent disruption to the service. The contract was unusual in that there are no other tram systems in the UK, but James Scott hopes to be successful in its bid for work on the installation of a new system in Croydon.

Contractor makes a stand against Dutch auctioning
Article Abstract:
It is vital to make a stand against Dutch auctioning, which serves only to drive down prices and reduce the standard of service given to the client, according to J Wesley (Electrical Contractors). This company feels that many small firms are unwilling to refuse to become involved in Dutch auctioning, as they feel that it may give them a negative reputation. It believes that its decision to make a stand will encourage others to reject this practice too.
