Main contractors seeking subcontractors to deliver Midlands developments

National construction companies are set to meet local suppliers at an event aimed at ensuring developments across the Midlands are delivered by trades from within the region.

Buyers from a range of companies including Henry Boot Construction, Willmott Dixon and GF Tomlinson – are set to showcase their schemes next Wednesday (19 February) at the event, which has been organised by Local Supply Chain.

Requirements for public and private sector schemes, including education facilities, infrastructure and new housing will be discussed to allow relevant trades and suppliers to discuss how their services can support the delivery of the projects they’re interested in.

Local Supply Chain is a cloud-based construction project management platform that allows sub-contractors, consultants and suppliers to co-ordinate all frameworks, projects, procurements and associated supply chains in one place. It’s an online community of more than 25,000 sub-contractors, consultants and suppliers across a vast range of sectors.

The construction software company’s Meet the Buyer day, which is free to attend, is taking place from 8.30am until 2.30pm, at Belton Woods hotel on the outskirts of Grantham.
