I did for a year. There were 1 or 2 large contracts that I may have been interested in, universities, council buildings etc but they were in Glasgow / Edinburgh, too far for my liking. Scotland is its own region on dotgov though. England is probably divided into smaller regions.

You can select the region you are in ideally i would like to know if it is worth the money and whether it is an inroad into schools and goverment buildings . Mike

Yes. That is what I said.

The whole of Scotland was my region. Glasgow is over 150 miles from me, plus there would be licencing issues for me in Scotland, so it didn't really work for me.

There were good contracts available, schools unis etc. It just didn't work out for me.

A lot of schools are their own entity now. Not government controlled-albeit funded.
Especially academies.

Government buildings-here in East Mids it's done by district and weighted.
We live in South Kesteven. Looking at the contract right now. But 20 miles away is South Holland, has absolutely no clout between the 2.

If its free though-I'd go for it bud. Owt for nowt

It's just the internet. Try not to worry.

Not Free £99+vat may well not be worth it , I was pretty sure some one on here had used them before so just wanted a little more insight . Mike
