Supply Chain and Business Support: Supply Chain Opportunities
Organiser
It is estimated that 60% of HS2 procurement opportunities will be available to Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). The HS2 team wants local business to supply both the development and operational phases of the programme.
HS2 will require services for:
- Capital construction - design, construction (including civils, engineering products, electronics, materials and power supply) and a range of materials
- New rolling stock and track
- The operation and maintenance of the new railway and its trains, including services such as station maintenance, lighting, catering, health and safety, waste management, fire prevention, IT & comms, security and business services - all the things that keep people working during construction and operation.
Also hear about available grants and business support available for business growth. Grants can help to pay for machinery, marketing support, accreditation, business systems improvements – all the things that could help you win part of the £56 bn HS2 investment.
