Public contracts won

A.D. Mechanical Services Limited has 2 public sector contract awards on record; the ones with their own published value total £26K, from 2022 to 2025. Source: Contracts Finder and Find a Tender award notices.

These were matched by the company's exact name because the notice gave no company number.
