HS2 is searching for more companies to progress its civil engineering works and start fitting out stations.
A 鈥榤eet the contractor鈥� event will be held at the Midland Hotel in Manchester on Monday 10th July for construction firms to find out how they could benefit from the pipeline of upcoming civil engineering and stations work.
On the following day there will be a similar event for companies involved in the rolling stock supply chain.
The meetings are being held in Manchester despite the contracts up for grabs relate only to the London-Birmingham first phase of HS2.
HS2 chief commercial officer Ruth Todd said: 鈥淭housands of UK businesses are already helping to bring the HS2 network to life, and this latest round of contract opportunities opens the door for hundreds more to join them.
鈥淚t鈥檚 an exciting time, as attention now turns towards raising our stations from the ground and building a fleet of rolling stock that will transform the way we travel between Britain鈥檚 major towns and cities.
鈥淭his is a standout opportunity for UK businesses looking to expand their order books and I鈥檇 encourage them to register quickly for the chance to discuss what鈥檚 on offer.鈥�
