Response
I would like to know how much money in contracts from the council has been given to the following companies since July 2017: Kingspan and Rydon .
A: The specifying of products such as those supplied by Kingspan or Rydon would normally be part of a building project, where it would be for the Contractor to enter any agreements with suppliers and manufactures not Herefordshire Council. Therefore Herefordshire Council have not directly awarded any contracts to Kingspan or Rydon specifically to them. No payment has been made to either company in the time frame specified.
