Press Release Summary = Leading modular building provider, Portakabin, has won
accredited-supplier status with OGCbuying.solutions - the major national public
sector procurement agency.

Press Release Body = Throughout a four-year contract, public sector organisations
looking for portable office space, temporary classrooms and other accommodation
solutions will be able to avoid the costly, compulsory competitive tender process
and turn to Portakabin to fulfil all their requirements.

A spokesperson for OGCbuying.solutions said, 'Portakabin has successfully been
through our very stringent selection process, which includes pre-qualification
questionnaires, a competitive tender stage and interviews, proving to us that the
company offers the high standards of service, product quality and value we demand
from our accredited suppliers.

'In addition, we were very impressed by the full turn-key package that Portakabin
offers. From processing planning applications to installing climate control
systems, access ramps and furniture, the company is able to handle everything,
offering complete peace of mind for our customers.'

Plus, each new Portakabin modular building comes with a pioneering 20-year
structural warranty and 5-year product warranty package.

OGCbuying.solutions is an Executive Agency of the Office of Government Commerce in
the Treasury. Its primary role is to help its public sector colleagues maximise
procurement efficiency and value for money.

Its services are available to a large cross section of public sector customers
including the Ministry of Defence, HM Prison Service, the Police, Emergency Services
and any organisation that is more than 50 per cent publicly funded.

In addition, private-sector specifiers working for the public sector, such as
architects, engineers and facilities management companies, can access its services.

Graham Burnett, Commercial Manager of Portakabin Hire Division, said, 'OGC
accreditation demonstrates the level of competitiveness and quality that our company
represents. It's an important badge of professionalism that will give public sector
companies peace of mind that they are choosing a modular building solution that has
been pre-assessed for quality and value.'

Furthermore, every Portakabin building procured comes with the company's unique
Customer Charter*, which states that if the company fails to complete projects on
time and on budget, customers are entitled to a week's free hire for every day
Portakabin is late, or an additional six months' product warranty on buildings that
are purchased.
