/24-7PressRelease/ -- The AMTEC Consortium - which includes Amnis, the quality, innovation and productivity organisation - is delighted to have secured its place across eight categories of the Government's new Management Consultancy and Accounting Services Framework Agreement, launched recently by Buying Solutions.
