Adelaide SAMHRI project sends furniture contract offshore
The major loose furniture contract for the $200 million Federal and State Government funded South Australian Medical Health and Research Institute in Adelaide’s CBD has reportedly been awarded to an offshore furniture manufacturer, despite local companies tendering for the work.
