Businesses from across the UK are being invited to register to attend the online event, and seize the opportunity to meet HS2鈥檚 contractors.
It is an annual event but new for 2021 is the opportunity to meet Tier 2 contractors. This means that some of the smaller packages will be discussed, making the event even more accessible for SMEs to get involved with and win work.
Alongside all seven of HS2鈥檚 Tier 1 joint venture contractors, 16 subcontractors will be taking part in the event, offering more than 250 packages of work, with values between 拢4,000 and 拢158m.
The event will be split into two weeks of interactive webinars, one week focusing on contracts for the construction of HS2 stations and the other on main civil engineering works. stations week will take place on 15th-17th November and main works civils will be from 29th November to 1st December.
HS2 chief commercial officer Ruth Todd said: 鈥淐onnecting to a wide variety of companies across the UK and wider is key to HS2鈥檚 success. This year鈥檚 Meet the Contractor event will be bigger and better and provide even more meetings for businesses who want to win work on HS2. One year on from starting main construction work on HS2 the project is now supporting 20,000 jobs, which is set to grow as construction work accelerates, and more businesses come on board.鈥�
At last year鈥檚 virtual event, 6,200 people attended the seminars and 800 one-to-one meetings were held.
