Scape Statement in Response to OFT Notice 22 September 2009

The OFT has released a statement today regarding the conclusion of its nine year investigation into the use of cover pricing and competitive practises carried out between 2000 and 2006 in the construction industry centred around the east midlands. A number of the companies named on the OFT list are ones with which Scape has framework agreements and therefore this matter is of a particular concern.  

Scape recognises it as a fundamental necessity for business to be conducted with honesty, integrity and free from distortion. 

Scape is confident that the selection processes for its framework agreements are robust and free from the issues investigated by the OFT.

Scape is seeking a statement urgently from each of the contractors listed before it decides its next course of action.
